    Gave this a pretty low score for obvious reasons if anyone watches it. First and foremost, PAUL FEIG. The same asswipe who decided to ruin the Ghostbusters franchise single-handedly is also guilty of not allowing Joel McHale to just run the show the way it deserves to be ran: Joel unleashed.

    Gave this a pretty low score for obvious reasons if anyone watches it. First and foremost, PAUL FEIG. The same asswipe who decided to ruin the Ghostbusters franchise single-handedly is also guilty of not allowing Joel McHale to just run the show the way it deserves to be ran: Joel unleashed.

    That was what made Talk Soup (and to a lesser extent, Community) such fantastic shows and with the Joel McHale show, you get about 20% of what you expect. Most skits are interrupted by random TV/Celebrity personalities who get on and ramble or make piss poor jokes before plugging their own individual shows/movies/etc.

    It's almost poetic in the way that Netflix is now putting out advertisements masked as shows.

    If you can stomach Paul Feig's horrid directing/producing to actually watch Joel McHale's parts, then it's worth watching. . . but only for a little while. I couldn't find myself watching much past episode 6. The constant interruptions by celebrities and bad skits just made it too cringe-worthy.

    What distinguishes it is the snarky, superficial brand of postmodern commentary about reality show narratives and foreign soap operas’ recurring tropes, and it’s rewarding to see that again. But again and again, McHale reminds you that all the comedy the writing staff has to offer about these clips is barely elevated vulgarity. Almost every clip would be funnier if McHale just said nothing after airing it.

    McHale’s place in the culture has been taken up by Twitter. ... On his new show, McHale sorts through some very meager pickings.
