    The Jim Gaffigan Show on TV Land, by far is one of the worst shows ever. I found no humor in it at all. The writers even took a segment from a previous tv commercial and incorporated it into the show. I can't see how people think this is a good comedy. I love comedies and this is sad. His commercials begging people to watch the show are so pathetic. I never saw him as a stand upThe Jim Gaffigan Show on TV Land, by far is one of the worst shows ever. I found no humor in it at all.

His commercials begging people to watch the show are so pathetic. I never saw him as a stand up comic. It seems people love his comedy in those performances. He may be a good comedian, but is just a lousy actor. The other cast members are just as bad as him. I think TV Land is grasping at straws here. Let it go!!! CBS did the right thing by passing on this show.… Expand

    The first episode of this was really not funny or interesting at all. It's like some kind of family-style attempt at Louie that has no edge and telegraphs all of its (weak) punchlines. Not even a glimmer of interest in persisting with this one.

    I like Jim Gaffigan but this show has absolutely zero chance of renewal. This is abysmal. Opening line of the show is the first joke of his latest stand up show. If you have seen his latest painful comedy show all about kids and wife, the show is a stereo typical sitcom effort. The casting is bad. Nothing about this is plausible. Its contrived garbage.

Not even close to the funny of his old material. Lazy predictable family comedy. The weak attempt to copy Seinfeld between each scene or location just shows how desperate the whole project is.… Expand

    Absolutely the worst thing I have ever tried to sit through! Not funny AT ALL. Just could not believe it was brought back for a second season. Now these latest references to Jesus Christ are plain offensive and I am not a religious fanatic of any kind. Anyone who enjoys this show really needs to get a life. Nothing has ever prompted me to express my feelings until this guy came along.Absolutely the worst thing I have ever tried to sit through! Not funny AT ALL.

I will be looking for something else to view in this time slot - or - nothing at all would be better.… Expand

    Mostly his adventuress result in stray one-liners and stilted semi-riffs. Imagine a less nourishing Louie or Curb Your Enthusiasm, full of empty calories. [24 Jul 2015, p.54]

    Onstage, Gaffigan can be winning as a regular guy. But The Jim Gaffigan Show is merely ordinary.

    The Jim Gaffigan Show is a likable and good one--and it gets livelier and more confident as it goes along. It isn’t trying to knock you out by reinventing the form.
