    Think the deadpan Steven Wright, only cheerier and more versatile. A stand-up comic and sometime cartoonist, Martin seems cursed with endless postgraduate cleverness.

    You'll find an important (and rare) thing: an off-kilter show that's at once smart, outlandish and very funny.

    Like "Saturday Night Live," "Important Things" is often hit and miss, but the simplest way for Martin to smooth over the bumps would be to become more comfortable in the stand-up segment.

    Martin is not amusing. He finds himself much funnier than he is, and that is insanely bothersome to me.
