Tim Goodman

It's not very often that a TV show bursting with imagination, audacity, rude charm and a relentlessly funny worldview gets on the air, much less appears fully formed. But Sarah Silverman... has delivered an offbeat gem. Read full review

Jennifer Wulff

This show is so wrong. And I loved every minute of it. [5 Feb 2007, p.37]

Robert Abele

The Sarah Silverman Program is a welcome outlet for Silverman’s brand of outlandishness, blessedly stingy with its desire to breach mores, and much more concerned with decorating its late-night comedy turf so that it can welcome any kind of unexpected laugh: shock, parody, irony, insult humor or absurdity.

Barry Garron

All series need time to discover their strengths and weaknesses, and this is no exception. However, this show starts with a foundation of solid character comedy, which bodes well for the future. Read full review

Melanie McFarland

In the way of so many television series inspired by comedians, "The Sarah Silverman Program" fails to directly translate the insanity of Silverman's stand-up. Read full review

Aaron Barnhart

As someone who’s on the fence about Silverman — I get what she’s doing, but I’m not sure it’s worth the adoration it often receives — I found myself chuckling more when I went through my notes on the first two shows than when I was watching them. Read full review

David Hinckley

The word "juvenile" doesn't begin to describe "The Sarah Silverman Show." It completely describes it. Read full review

The Sarah Silverman Program is a masterpiece of vulgarity and racism. Sarah Silverman is unapologetically offensive and rude which makes her all the more hilarious. The show has its share of misses, but it usually hits right on target. I love it.

I was never a fan of her standup, but this show is suprisingly good.

Comedy Central's newest way for you to kill braincells. It's aloofness is supposed to excuse its offensive sense of humor, but nothing excuses that it isn't funny. The supporting cast shows some tiny signs of life.

This thing is a joke. And by that I mean a very bad one. Shes not a funny person, its poorly written and time wasting. And I cant help but ask myself how much Tim Goodman was paid to write his review of the show.

More painful to watch than Mind of Mencia and equal in awfulness to the Naked T-Bone show. Comedy Central keeps getting worse and worse after Chappelle left them for a quiet life in Ohio.
