ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Jodie Pieters That audience is not me but I'm not saying that this is a bad show or whatever. My dad watches Ron James do his stand up comedy routine on Just for Laughs or whatever stand up comedy shows it is that he does and enjoys him very much (I do not, to me it just seems like a little guy talking really fast and combining big words and concepts with a 'Newfie' accent to seem funny when he's not really saying much at all). My dad doesn't like this show The Ron James Show either I should point out but my point is that there definitely would be people who this show is made for.Some of the clips on this show are really bad. Little Ronny is painful to watch and so are most of the live skits they do. The stand up is the most bearable part and probably almost half the show is stand up but as I said that has a certain audience and it is not really me. I give it a 3.
theannakostan Unfortunately this show is just not very good. I wanted to like it and I tried to like it but there was just nothing in any of the episodes I saw that made me like this show even a little bit. Some of the stand up comedy that Ron James does on the show is OK but it is very short, has nothing to do with the rest of the show which is all made up of sketches, and just makes it more obvious how completely awful and void of jokes the rest of the show is. Ron James is not a very good performer outside of doing his stand up comedy sadly and the other acting is very bad too. The writing of the sketches is terrible. The jokes are like they come straight out of a child's how-to-write-a-joke book with jokes you can see coming like a freight train.
Steve Adams This show is just very bad. The sketches are really lame including scenes where Ron James (who is in real life about sixty years old or so) plays a little kid and another where he voices characters who are supposed to be his family in animated short sketches. I guess we are supposed to just laugh because an old man is pretending to be a kid? I don't know what they are thinking but it fails miserably this is some of the worst comedy I have seen in a while on Canadian TV. There is also a lot of stand-up comedy on the show where Ron James tells jokes, this is much better than the rest of the show (the sketches etc) but it's still only for real fans of Ron James, personally I find his comedy might work for older people like my parents but he's pretty whiny and his comedy is a bit too basic for me.
Michelle Kay This show is horrible. Ron James is okay as a stand up comedian I guess, my dad likes him and sometimes on his stand up comedy specials he had jokes that were funny but his TV show is just horrible. The jokes are all really bad. Even the parts where he does stand up it is just awkward and not very funny, like he is just talking to fill up time because they don't have any good sketches to do. The sketches are all really bad, not funny at all. He does one thing where he plays a little kid, I guess it is supposed to just be funny visually because he is an old man playing a kid who grabs his crotch a lot etc but it just is really unfunny. This show is terrible and the CBC needs to put better shows on that younger people might find funny instead of putting the same old people on TV all the time.
