    "The Sarah Silverman Program" is full of scenes that sound funny on paper... but in execution pass by without eliciting even a small chuckle.

    "The Sarah Silverman Program" has all of the charms of a joke with an audible fart as the punch line.

    The Sarah Silverman Program isn't about anything but its own supposed daring and the hyperbolic smugness of its star.
