    Much as I admire Tom Shales, I think he's just wrong about this one. "Dog Bites Man" puts a lot into each show, which doesn't allow for everything to be developed as much as it could be. It doesn't always work 100%, but it's still very funny and inventive and a great spoof of local news. The cast is first rate, especially Matt Walsh and Andrea Savage. I hope this series lasts a long time.… Expand

    This show is absolutely hilarious and I'm stunned to see the poor ratings the critics have given it. Perhaps they would prefer another Friends knock-off. Anyhow, it's my turn to judge the critics and I give them an F. This show absolutely rocks!!!

    Not suprised there are some Zero ratings here. Its really sad that there's always some people out there that just dont have a well developed sense of humor. This show is great. Sorry, if you don't get it.

    Next to "Curb", this is the best on TV. Matt Walsh is superb.

    This show is awesome!! Best show on Comedy Central after Chappell's show. I don't know what these critics are talking about...might be a little too original for them.

    By far the BEST show that has come out of Comedy Central in years! The whole KHBX team is great and make the show hilarious. I hope the network sees how funny and original this series is and keeps iy up for many more seasons to come.

    This is a very funny show, and demonstrates that off-color humor is better when it hasn't been "dumbed down". The cast is first-rate, and although not all scenes hit their mark, the ones that do will have you rolling on the floor

    Very, very funny show. About as witty as other documentary-style comedies like Waiting for Guffman and Curb Your Enthusiasm, just with more emphasis on toilet humor, a la Ali G. The creators need some time to flush out the characters and pacing a bit more. But Comedy Central should give them that chance. This show has tremendous potential - don't let it go!

    Improv techniques aside, I'd just settle for a funny script.
