KevinKFeb 16, 20070This show sucks!
-
-
SaraFeb 17, 20070The president skit looked more like a parody of conservative thought processes. "Well, after two years of a democratic congress, the economy is in ruins and we're internationally hated, but luckily, the conservatives are back in charge." Unlike, you know, how things are after six years of a Republican one. Seriously, who thought that was a good idea?
-
-
LennyTFeb 17, 20070So bad it makes you feel sorry for FNC. Trite.
-
-
KurtAFeb 17, 20070The only thing that is missing is real laughs from a live audience... check that TV audience.
-
-
DanielMFeb 17, 20070oh-my-god that this show is discraceful
-
-
JasonSFeb 18, 20070Completely fails to be either original or funny.
-
-
DaveFeb 18, 20070Fox is doing fake news? This is news??
-
-
ChrisAFeb 18, 20071This just sucks.
-
-
IanSFeb 18, 20070So painful to watch, its comparable to an awful high school production
-
-
RuffyRFeb 18, 200710I loved it!
-
-
DavidOFeb 18, 200710It is about time that the "right" has its own program. The fact that all the liberal reviewers came in against the show is a strong prediction of potential success! As usual, they (liberals) can dish it out, but they can't take it!!! Keep going 1/2 Hour News Hour!!
-
-
JohnStewartFeb 18, 20070very, very, very poorly done
-
-
TracyHFeb 18, 20079I find it hard to believe all of your critics have negative comments. Can you say "liberal bias?"
-
-
MikeHFeb 18, 200710OK Libs...it's all fun and games until the joke's on you. I'll laugh really hard the first time this gets better ratings than your liberal counterpart...and it will happen. I thought it was hilarious! - A God Fearing, All American Conservative
-
-
jrFeb 18, 20079Odd intro, but very funny obama segment and t-shirt parody. Ill watch it again.
-
-
ChelseaFeb 18, 20070Actually worse than expected. Political bias aside, this was just plain horrible.
-
-
NealWFeb 18, 200710Great show....silly and fun.
-
-
[Anonymous]Feb 18, 20070Sick.
-
-
PaulMFeb 18, 20070Middle schoolers could write better parody.
-
-
DavidHFeb 18, 20071Be you liberal or conservative, I think we can all put aside our partisan differences and agree that this show is awful
-
-
HankCFeb 18, 20070terrible and offensive
-
-
alhFeb 18, 20076
-
-
SeanFeb 18, 20072Pathetic attempt! I was going to give it a chance being a moderate voter ... a daily show rip off that doesn't even give the daily show any street cred.
-
-
CiaraTFeb 18, 200710I thought the show was hilarious and I hope to see it become a regular series. Take that liberals hypocrite's!
-
-
EZFeb 19, 20070Small focus, silliness, and poor delivery plague this show. It's so bad the hosts even try to explain their jokes sometimes (which makes them even worse).
-
-
DavidFeb 19, 20077Enjoyed the gags, especially the ACLU bits. It's a fun change of pace from the standard comedy news that i'm used to seeing on SNL or the Daily Show. Refreshing.
-
-
jonrFeb 19, 20070It was terrible and unfunny. Larry the cable guy was more insightful!!!
-
-
pataFeb 19, 20070i can't believe this show was actually approved. i felt like i was watching a public access teen news program from a year ago. the jokes were totally outdated and the whole feel was cheap. those two actors/anchors should be ahshamed of themselves for taking this job. i'm sure they will be.
-
-
BillWFeb 19, 20078Finally, a show that exposes the truth about liberals and liberalism in very funny way. Illustrating liberal absurdity through satiric humor.
-
-
JenniferDFeb 19, 200710Excellent! Finaly TRUTH in journalism!!!
-
-
CarlaWFeb 19, 200710Great Fun! Illustrates the absurd by being absurd.
-
-
KrisKFeb 19, 20072relegated to the hellish hours of 3AM and plugged between other boners like Girls Gone Wild and Enzyte, it might do wonderfully. Some of us get punchy enough to laugh at anything, even this, at 3 AM.
-
-
GINARFeb 19, 200710This show is great and alot of us conservatives would like to see this come about, it just shows that the left has no sense of humor and I think this is great comedy!
-
-
BobYFeb 19, 200710I expected poor comments from the pathetic left. It's about time some conservative humor poked at them.
-
-
JPosaFeb 19, 200710Great show. The liberals are all crying foul on this one. The truth hurts, doesn't it. Fox is laughing all the way to the bank. HA,HA,HA!!!
-
-
RonRFeb 19, 200710Superior humor!
-
-
BrianMFeb 19, 20071Am I missing something here? After the show finished, I thought isn't comedy at it's best when practiced by the anti-establishment. It's just not funny when the Bush administration does one liners and zingers about the ACLU.
-
-
dougmFeb 19, 20077Nice ironic Twist to the typical garbage called political humor. Canned laugh has got to go though, let the satire speak for itself
-
-
JudS.Feb 19, 20070Hahaha. Yet another indication this "news" network is just trying to find shows that get ratings, despite the lack of journalism. Fox is just a horrible, terrible, awful channel.
-
-
JobBFeb 19, 20070Potental to be funny falls flat.
-
-
SteveGFeb 19, 200710I loved it. It is about time.... It will be a must see for the people sick and tired of the left bashing the right.
-
-
lizhFeb 19, 200710I loved it. At first it was a bit shocking to hear jokes about the left, it's so unusual I felt a little naughty listening to it and enjoying it. It's about time there was another voice on TV. Keep up the good work.
-
-
GregSFeb 19, 200710If John Stuart is a 10, then this is at least as good. Pay attention to the Liberal critics rating of this show. All the more proof that the Left is too stupid to ever be trusted with any judgement.
-
-
MatthewMFeb 19, 20070Satire requires deflating power - hard to do when you are part of that power. Pretty dull stuff.
-
-
kevincFeb 19, 20070Nice use of the laugh track over and over again. This shows they couldn't get a live audience to laugh at anything.
-
-
MichaelCFeb 19, 20070Horrific. Brain-dead monkeys on meth couldn't write worse material. I suppose it makes sense - how can you comment wittily on reality when you're living in the reality-free echo-chamber of Limbaugh and O'Reilly?
-
-
R.SkellyFeb 19, 20072this is an awkward, desperate and ultumately woeful attempt at political parody.
-
-
JordanMFeb 19, 200710Well, it must be the best show ever made, cause a lot of liberal drones hate it!
-
-
MyraTFeb 19, 20070Stale, predictable, about as subtle as a sledgehammer, with nasty intolerant undertones. In other words typical right wing "humor."
-
-
BrentHFeb 19, 20079It's no wonder the "mainstream media" newspaper quotes trash "The 1/2 Hour News Hour" and hurriedly predict the show's demise after one episode. It's about time fair balance included poking fun at liberal sacred cows. Kudos to FOX and Joel Surnow. Keep the laughs coming!
-
-
CoryKFeb 19, 20071Attempt at balancing out liberal-biased satire? Maybe. Funny? No, not at all.
-
-
BrianBFeb 19, 20070Good lord... if you want to copy Stewart and Colbert, please do it well. Without laugh tracks.
-
-
johnfFeb 19, 200710funny, very funny
-
-
MichaelTFeb 19, 200710Watched it three times, showed to alot of friends......... I haven't laughed so hard since Sienfeld
-
-
NoneofYourbusinessFeb 19, 200710Absolutely brilliant. One of the best shows on TV can't wait until it goes beyond promos and gets better production values.
-
-
KlarthLFeb 19, 20070Awful... so awful.
-
-
JakeLFeb 20, 20070The worst thing you can imagine -- on a bad day.
-
-
HughJassFeb 20, 20077This is a little funnier than the critics say. Not extremely funny, but still funny.
-
-
JohnBFeb 20, 200710At last the answer to those smug arrogant fools on Weekend Update. And this is actually funny!
-
-
DavidPFeb 20, 20070Chewing on tinfoil and repeatedly whacking my big toe with a sledgehammer would be more fun than watching this again. Good Lord, was this show horrible.
-
-
JeffMFeb 20, 20071The premise is stupid, the jokes dumb and juvenile, and the performance are so dull, it looks like even the actors hate doing it. Comedy only works if everything is up for grabs, narrowing down to make fun of a select group of people to pander to a "base" is why this will inevitably fail.
-
-
JeffKFeb 20, 20071The only thing I really found funny was how poorly the laugh track was applied.
-
-
eclipsgtboyFeb 20, 200710I love it. Finally a show that gives back a little something to the lefties. Of course they don't find it funny! It touches their golden man, Barack Obama. There is SOOOOO much material out there. Go for it!
-
-
PoDawgFeb 20, 20070Awful
-
-
EdwinCFeb 20, 200710This was a very funny show. Weedend update has been lame for two years now and this is very refreshing. I hope this has a looooooooong run on fox news.
-
-
AlmaCFeb 20, 200710Enjoyed it a lot
-
-
EmmaMFeb 20, 20071Unbelievably horrible!!! This show is painfully unfunny.
-
-
AbeIFeb 20, 200710It was a riot. I would like to see it every night.
-
-
andrewOFeb 20, 20070so bad... i mean i would watch, IF IT WERE AT ALL FUNNY
-
-
JCFeb 20, 20070
-
-
AndrewSFeb 20, 20070No where near as funny as the regular programming on fox news.
-
-
JohnMFeb 21, 20070Painfully unfunny. The use of a laugh track is pathetic at best. What is a comdey show doing on a news network. It should be on FX channel or some other fox channel.
-
-
RossAFeb 21, 20071
-
-
DanielAFeb 21, 20070They should probably try to spend more time on being funny and less on trying to be "right wing." I have never seen material is forced and, well, stupid. And this is coming from a regestered Independent. One of the least funny television shows I have ever seen.
-
-
StewartLFeb 21, 20070I would have given it a 1 had they had Bush doing fart jokes.
-
-
doughFeb 21, 200710Aww, the poor liberals don't like satire about the truth. They have the daly show, kind of. How about decent review without politics.
-
-
DamienFeb 21, 20070Bathroom humor just isn't funny. Nice how they added a canned laugh track to it. Awful, just awful.
-
-
ChefClarkFeb 21, 20070To effectively review this show, you need to observe it with a politically-neutral viewpoint. To review this show on comedic merit, it is absolutely horrible. Its structure of set-up, punchline, set-up, punchline, combined with its poor sketch acting and a LAUGH TRACK creates a dismal production that should never have even made it to a pilot episode.
-
-
MarkDFeb 21, 20070
-
-
DrunkenMasterFeb 21, 20070How funny is the "half hour news hour"? Well, if you find the realization that Barack Obama's initials = BO hilarious, this is right up your alley. Otherwise (ie, if you have an IQ higher than that of a Basset Hound), stikck with The Daily Show. Raving rightwing reactionaries just aren't funny.
-
-
JayWFeb 21, 20070between the obvious canned laughter and the overly kinetic "news anchors", this was a piss poor take-off on the very good Daily Show with John Stewart. Do Conservatives just not have a funny bone because this was a real disappointment.
-
-
MelodyCFeb 21, 20070Heroically, historically bad. The Plan 9 from Outer Space of TV comedy.
-
-
AlyceNFeb 21, 20072I chuckled once or twice. I like to watch funny people making fun of liberal shibboleths. These are not funny people.
-
-
dare-asFeb 21, 20072(2) for concept, (0) for execution, neither news nor entertainment
-
-
MariaLFeb 21, 20070the humor was mean spirited and juvenile at best . Not at all impressed and I love political humor.
-
-
DanS.Feb 21, 20070Look, it's not that it's conservative. The Daily Show uses wit and irony to blast its targets. The 1/2 Hr. News Hr. uses the snide bullying of an 8th grader. The difference is huge.
-
-
LorenMFeb 21, 20070Not nearly as funny as FNC's "fair and balanced" tagline. Now THAT is comedy.
-
-
TGuinnFeb 21, 20070This show is just really really bad.
-
-
JamesRFeb 21, 20070Republicans aren't funny.
-
-
TeeOFeb 21, 20070
-
-
BiancaBFeb 21, 20071I don't know who to feel more embarrassed for - the people who created this insipid mess or the people giving it "10" ratings.
-
-
KyleLFeb 21, 20071This show is proof that conservatives do not have a sense of humor
-
-
EdMurrowFeb 21, 20070Wow - really lame!
-
-
IncognitaBullfinchFeb 21, 20071So lame. The jokes are tired. The set and graphics are stolen from the Daily Show. The laugh track proves that the creators didn't have the confidence to present this "work" in front of a live audience. What an awful, awful show.
-
-
StacyWFeb 21, 20070Ok, where's the negative number option? -10 would be more accurate. Lame. Lame. Lame.
-
-
RichardGFeb 21, 20070Gives "this stinks" a whole new level of meaning.
-
-
ArneFFeb 21, 20070A program that needs a laugh track to tell everybody when it's supposed to be funny. Well, it's certainly not funny, let alone accurate. Pure dribble.
-
-
KMYFeb 21, 20070Low-life swipes at progressives and at the majority of American opinion. Laugh tracks are pathetic.
-
-
JamesAFeb 21, 20073The show really didn't poke fun at the news, but seemed to be a hitjob for the US Democratic Party. In contrast, what I like about Stewart and Colbert is that they poke fun at both political parties, and use actual news events to bolster thier jokes (thus the Emmys). Granted, some of the jokes were funny, but there is a reason why the show has only been slated to three episodes.
-
-
20A 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.
-
0"Weekend Update" on its worst night isn't this bad.

0You couldn't skewer a cube of tofu with material this dull.
