    If none of this quite rises to the level of Jon Stewart's intellectual hopscotch or Amy Poehler's inspired lunacy, it's nonetheless agreeably funny.
  2. Sometimes the humor is so heavy-handed that it seems almost like self-parody.
  3. A look at the first episode suggests that, just as A.M. radio is the unassailable province of the right, TV might better be left to the left.

    Loved the show...sorry it's off the air. The fact that the Libs don't get it, even makes it better. They don't get the Bible either.

    How do you judge comedy? Some people laugh at Monty Python, some people don't. Some people wet themselves when they see somebody get hit in the crotch, some don't. I didn't laugh once whilst watching this. In fact I was cringing most of the time. But I think you have to take it in context. Compared to something like "Family Guy" this isn't funny. But compared to Anne Coulter calling Edwards a faggot, I guess a Marion Berry joke looks kind of witty, even if half the TV audience will need to check wikipedia (or conservapedia) to understand the reference.

    Jokes and satire not very witty, predictable most of the time. Wish there could be a funny right wing show that could make fun of the other side while poking fun at themselves. There is plenty of material out there and "1/2 Hour" seem to miss most of it Expand
