MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

bohicaa Not much more to add to those already rating this show poorly. The laugh track is about the most pathetic one I have ever heard. The timing is poor and the writing is worse. I guess we can be grateful that it is only a half hour and not the hour it might have been. Also, how is it that a News Channel has a "Comedy" show?I can't believe that some here have compared this to SNL; it doesn't even come in 50th behind it. Saturday Night Live, at its very worst, never aired a Weekend Update that was so unerringly bad.This show seems to be a hit piece at The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. While both those shows are decidedly slanted, they take shots at both liberals as well as conservatives. TDS and TCR have great timing and great talent in both delivery and writing.If this show would get a live audience, make comedy more important than a political agenda (they could even keep 2/3s of the political agenda), hire comedians and writers that are in the upper 40% of their respective fields then this show might have a shot at being entertaining.

rg The 1/2 Hour News Hour serves up a funny roasting of news events and personalities from an absolutely unique viewpoint -- the conservative side of the political spectrum. And it does so with at least as much result as its over-rated competitors on the political left (The Daily Show, etc.). But then, there is so much about the political left to ridicule, and such a dearth of comedy programs doing it! Besides fast-paced skits the show features its own gag commercials that manage to clobber with humor everything from Hollywood's intellectual pretensions to the ACLU's innate inability to recognize its own comic potential. The original episodes aired on Fox News Channel won the sweepstakes for viewers in their cable time slots.

landress I'm basing this after just two episodes, so it could get better. Actually, it'd almost be impossible for it to get worse. The premise *could* work. The country is polarized enough that, basically, a right-wing only show could develop a niche. But for that to work, I'd have to think it would need to be better than this.Quite frankly, I'm not sure the two anchor format works for this type of show. The feel of it is trying to be a Jimmy Fallon/Tina Fey exchange from Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live. Only, the exchanges were really forced. The set seems inappropriate for the show, looking much more like a local access news show than that of a national show. The laugh track takes even more away from the show, making it look even more like a local access show.As I said, potentially this show could develop an audience and develop. However, based off the first two episodes, it has a lot of work to do. This success or failure of this show won't have as much to do with left/right, right/wrong, Republican/Democrat, but rather whether or not it simply becomes a better quality product.

One_who_knocks It's funny how people on the left cannot enjoy humor that lampoons them. I watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report and think they're hilarious. I know full well that neither Stewart or Colbert are in my corner, but they are funny - even when what they do slams me or my views. Y'all on the left need to learn how to lighten up. It's obviously bad for your health if you're verping.On to the review. I didn't really notice the laugh track as being overbearing. Hmmm, the credits shows an audience warm-up guy. Could it be that actual live human beings were laughing at the jokes? I was laughing. They were laughing. Obviously some people find the jokes funny. So basically it may not be your kind of humor. Find the remote, there you go, now change the channel.The two co-hosts are okay; they're not on the same level as Stewart/Colbert, but they'll do. It's the first show. Give them a chance to find their groove. I hope this doesn't get canceled, it's only going to get better.
