Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
kimnleemcc Season one of this show was hilarious. So funny and the banter between the actors was amazing and quick witted. We couldn't wait for the second season. Now that it is almost over - we can't figure out what happened. The ideas for the show are still great, but the writing is horrible. We hardly laugh at it any more. Sometimes we even fast forward through short sections. And why do they have to explain the show afterward? That should be their first clue that it is bad. If you have to explain your comedy, it isn't funny. I don't know what happened to the writers, but they need to go back to the way it was. Watch the first season on demand - but don't waste your time with the second one.
R. Silver I really enjoy Jim Gaffigan's stand-up, probably even more so than most people. I've watched every episode of the the Jim Gaffigan Show so far though (midway through season 2 now), and with each episode I'm eking closer to dropping it.There's a few laughs here and there, but all in all, during 95% of the episode I don't even laugh. It's more of a drama about a comedian than an actual comedy. It's very self-deprecating of Jim, sometimes harshly and unbearably so. I know it's a TV show and it's ironic and for fun, but the jokes (against Jim) are so real and harsh sometimes that you literally feel bad for him - and wonder if this is even hurting his image!At least if there was a captivating plot line, it could work as a drama. But it still follows the silly, whimsical story line that a comedy would - save for the laughs. If there were some good supporting characters at least, it could work. But none of the other characters are funny either. Adam Goldberg is boring, dull, unfunny, and same with everyone else. The only other character I kind of like is Michael Ian Black (who I think is BRILLIANT in Another Period), but even in this show, he's not truly "funny". Jim is the only person on the show you can rely on for laughs, and there aren't really much at that. So, it's not funny as a comedy. It's not interesting as a drama. I don't know what it is, but either way, it's just not holding my interest so I think I'll drop it.
sendmetothenations Comedy with realism and wit! Jim makes living with his family and friends believable and wittily funny. A joy to be in his world for a few minutes each week. Well written story lines and the supporting cast performs well too. Good to see a comedy "set" with a family that does not use their children as props instead of real human beings with feelings. Jim has a self-deprecating humor that is witty and honest and the way he and his spouse depict real life situations is comical as well as refreshing. A different kind of comedy and well worth thirty minutes of your time once a week!! You will not be able to watch Jim's comedy without enjoying how honest his feelings about life,family and marriage really can be full of laughter and truth.
thompsonm-05031 There is no comedy here. It's like a live action version of the Baby Huey cartoons. This guy is beyond awful. The only possible explanation is that he's retarded and doesn't know how awful he is, and no one has the heart to tell him. We've already seen plenty of shows with bad fathers, and it seems that Gaffigan is sleep-walking through this thing. He seems to eat as a vehicle instead of actually acting and being funny.The supporting staff seem to recognize this and seem on the verge of vomiting at any moment, as do I.
