Bell is likely to smooth over the minor bumps in coming shows, but make no mistake: Totally Biased isn't likely to look much like "The Colbert Report" or "The Daily Show."
The premiere felt a little tense; the host is still learning how to relate to the camera, how to occupy television. Nevertheless, he proves a friendly presence.

Bell is definitely still figuring it out - he looks awkward on camera, has a tendency to laugh at his own jokes, and his interviews (while getting better) are SUPER stilted. Still, the commentary is well written (the problem in my mind is the delivery, not the material) and he has some very funny bits - I especially like the on-the-streets segments. For example, quizzing New Yorkers on who they will **** marry when Obama forces the marriage equality act through? Hilarious. It's not great yet, but it has potential.

SEASON 1
No comedic delivery, presentation, or talent. It's the type of show that presents things that one would already find funny at face value (or not), with no attempt at creativity or wit. I don't even think weed would make it funny, just useful for comfortable group-think. A hackneyed version of hackneyed Bill Maher.

SEASON 1
Will a cheerfully biased newcomer with a few amusing, well-crafted one-liners be enough to get FX on the boards in late night? To paraphrase Yoda, difficult to say--always in motion is the future--but Rock may want to light a fire under this act sooner than later.
This is probably the worst show I have ever seen on FX, which is really sad considering it is being bombarded in my face during commercials. I gave it a chance and it failed, unless you like seeing several black people saying we are black and they are white and we are attempting a joke har har. This is crap and I will not be watching ever again.

SEASON 1
Boring, poor delivery, repeats the same routines over and over.
Painful to watch. Suffered an entire season of him repeating over and over 'please God, kill George Zimmerman'.

SEASON 1
Well, what to say that hasn't already been **** in the least bit funny, the TV was left on and I randomly watched this show. It took about two segments before i changed the channel, honestly felt like I was at an open mic night at the local comedy club with first timers...
