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.
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.
The 1/2 Hour News Hour is slow torture all by itself.
In truth, there's nothing wrong with partisan humor, as long as it's actually funny. But here, even the less-political jokes are hopelessly obvious or old.
It's hard not to keep staring perplexed, squinting a little, and uttering, "I don't get it" every few seconds.
It's even worse than anyone imagined.
"Weekend Update" on its worst night isn't this bad.
