Critic Reviews

60 Chicago Tribune Allison Benedikt
It's a rip-off of an earlier (and better) road trip series, Comedy Central's "The Comedians of Comedy," but worthwhile nonetheless.
50 Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman
The show's weakness is that not a lot of interesting or funny stuff happens on the bus or in their touring cities.
42 Entertainment Weekly Tim Stack
The whole thing feels like a[n] unfortunate twist on Comic Relief--charity for the comedians. [9 Jun 2006, p.133]
40 Los Angeles Times Paul Brownfield
It's "Entourage" on the cheap, without the fun stuff.
30 Washington Post Tom Shales
If the prospect of accompanying comedians on a comedy bus does have a certain allure, don't get too excited.
30 Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
Too much like a dull season of MTV's "Road Rules," without the women.
25 Slant Magazine Paul Schrodt
May be the most pointless series HBO has ever produced.
10 Variety Brian Lowry
A half-hour vanity project that proves HBO can not only be TV, but bad TV at that.
10 Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond
[It] panders in a fashion that's akin to a neon sign flashing, "Yoo hoo! Young demographics! Over here!"
