Check out this very funny, very non-PC show live (while you still can). The PC crowd will be trying to kill it as quickly as they can.

Your post is timed at 7:25 Pacific, which means it is a full hour late for anyone to respond!!

It's already dead. At the end of the show the host announced that this was the last show. Bummer...

I know! Missed it again!

He is playing this week at Carolines in the Village. I saw him there a couple of years ago not knowing who he was. It was a great show, had drink with him and my friend who's birthday I took her out for.

Golly, I wish I had seen this earlier...a truly Non-PC show on NBC? Hard to believe. Anyone have any one-liners for those of us who missed it?

The agreement for the show was for 3 episodes -- to see how it did. If it did well, the deal is that the show would be renewed by the network. I haven't seen any ratings, so I can't say how likely it is that the show will be renewed. If people here liked the show, they should write the network and tell them so. I haven't seen any of his shows yet (I taped them), but he'll have to be pretty funny for me to forgive him for all the slams he made against Republicans and Bush while on SNL.

That's my problem, too.  Coming in after the firing
of Norm (You know Clinton's a murderer, right?) McDonald,
Colin Quinn was a pitcher of warm spit.

Yes. Maybe the format of his show suits him (i.e., you get to do it over if you screw up), but I thought he was far and away the worst SNL anchor in its long tenure. Among other deficiencies, he was constantly tripping over his own tongue.

That was a joke. The Colin Quinn show should be on for a long time. The anti PC sentiment is a welcome departure and it is VERY funny.

Ratings have been in the low 70's...NOT good for any show broadcast on the three major networks.

For some of you East coast types I was late but for the Mountain (yes there is a Mountian time zone) and Pacific people I was very timely. Try to remember there are 4 time zones (particularly when posting scores for Olympic hockey games that are tape delayed).

Sarcasm Off

I am just now watching the show and hope it is a good one.
