Truly Dreadful Film

Highly Overrated But Still Good
Lidia Draper
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I will get this down right away. Back when this TV show was on Hulu every day I watched it - religiously. Some folks don't like Chris Hardwick. There is something called a remote - you should use it.Some folks seem to think this is a game show. This is a game show the same way Whose Line is it Anyway is a game show. Strangely, I doubt if I look at that show's IMDb page I will see a bunch of 'this is a terrible game show' reviews. I am not going to question the honesty, or veracity of those reviews. Nor am I going to wonder why they badmouth a show for not being something it is not.They have to live with themselves, I figure that is enough.But I will say this: Viacom screwed the pooch here. I noticed that Viacom's stock is down overall from when the show was on Hulu.I honestly hope the CEO and the other top management who decided they weren't making enough money off this and all their other TV shows get fired by the board, given lead parachutes, and are never given any more authority than choosing which homeless camp they try tonight. This type of 'leadership' that turns off young folks (I'm not one, but I've heard they'll actually pay a reasonable amount for a service like Hulu, but are literally NEVER going back to Cable. Ever.).Honestly. These dodos are the very definition of childish, foolish, lame, and short-sighted. I know Mr. Hardwick has enough to do with the other shows/commercials/podcasts/nerd empires he has. And his new wife might like to see him for those hours he would have spent here on this show. But he's a self-professed workaholic, so I'm sure he'll find something to occupy his time. I want to salute this show for introducing me to folks I would have never gotten to know any other way. I also want to acknowledge that when they failed (mostly any time they had a 'special' guest or a side bit with someone flailing around on stage next to Hardwick) they failed BIG TIME (hence the 9/10). I got to the point I would fast forward through those bits because they failed nearly 100% of the time. Did I appreciate Hardwick's sometimes less-than-subtle homoeroticism? Did I like that they got him out of his clothes on occasion? Did I love how they had actual LGBT folks on the show? Did I fall out when someone like Michael Shannon (General Zod from Man of Steel) flexed his funny bone? Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Am I sad it isn't on anymore? No.You can't miss what the idiots at Viacom stole from you a long time ago.

Do not watch this if you get annoyed by juvenile comedy, similar to that of Tosh.O. The most surprising part is how many celebrities have appeared on the show, although after seeing how many celebs are on the Nightly show, it probably has more to do with Viacom's influence. Either way, if you like key and peele, tosh.o, or even the daily show and Colbert's more juvenile bits, then go ahead and check this show out, enjoy. If not, thank goodness, we all need to work harder to raise the bar on what we consider comedy in our society.In my opinion, this show is nothing original and just wastes time, rather than contributing to comedy.

Between Tosh.0, Jeff Ross's "The Burn", and The Jeselnick Offensive, Comedy Central already has enough comics making fun of the internet. @Midnight also feels a bit to similar to Jeff Ross's show, save the arbitrary game show points handed out to @Midnight's guests. So far, I haven't seen @Midnight's format inspire a lot of good material from the comics either. As a fan of Hardwick and many of the shows guests, namely Scott Aukerman, Paul F. Thompkins, and just the general pool of alternative comics and writers the show features, i'm just a little disappointed that no one ends up looking very good, or very funny, on this program. Of course the show does have it's moments. Chris Harwick is a great host and the guests are funny people, and they do say some clever things from time to time. So, in conclusion, I can say that I like the guests that the show and Hardwick draw, and the show is probably great for some of the lesser known comics and writers. Unfortunately, it's just not a good show. It's poorly produced, sloppy, and rarely funny despite all of the great talent. Better luck next time Hardwick, because you know, and I know, and everyone knows, that this show doesn't have any staying power.

Chris Hardwich at his best as himself with his friends. The show is a cross between Tosh.O, formerly Attack of the Shows "Around the Net", and a Jeopardy parody. Maybe a bit of Web Soup but more sincere and light hearted. Highly entertaining and funny. Episodes fly by as they are only 22 minutes long. Highly recommend the daily DVR of this show if you work in the morning.Great show to follow on twitter as well. Live feed of upcoming topics that you can participate in via twitter. It is a must follow on twitter handle of @midnight. Simply put 10/10. I seriously hope Comedy Central picks the show up after the 4 weeks contract is up.
