...For most people, the big question is whether The 1/2 Hour Comedy Hour, which debuts this Sunday night, February 18, is worth thirty minutes of your time?

After watching the first two episodes of the show, my answer is an unequivocal "Yes" -- it's worth watching, worth supporting, even if the project is very much a work in progress which, along with a few laughs, delivers a few moments of embarrassing, unfunny, ineptitude...

I saw previews of the Rush skit the other day. Not side splitting funny, but I'm sure it will get better if they give it a chance. Hope it does well. Wonder what will happen if the Dems get their way and Fox has to air a Democratic "funny" response.

I, for one, am going to watch it. I didn't exactly find the 2 clips I saw FOFL funny, but even at that, I did enjoy them. Rush and Ann as Pres. and VP was pretty funny.

Those who are panning the show already may have a point, but let's give it a chance.

"Wonder what will happen if the Dems get their way and Fox has to air a Democratic "funny" response."

Watch any other MSM news channel and every one of them is a comedy skit.
