I thought the writing was good, but the overbearing laugh track makes it seem cheap.

Thanks for the post. I haven't watched the whole thing yet, I taped it. But what I did watch was hilarious. Can't wait to watch the rest.
Curious what others thought about it.

Ping.

It's amazing.
When dealing with the left, factual and rediculous are the same thing.

Well done... the production values seemed a bit lacking, but the writing was very good and mostly well delivered. Some of the talent could have been better, IMHO (the T-shirt guy wouldn't have gotten through America Idol audition 1).

The satirical commercials jabbing the ACLU were the best!

The significant other and I DVRed the show and watched it. It was OK, we got a few laughs out of it... but it just seems like the writers are trying too hard. We've got the next episode DVRed, hopefully it will get better over time.

The show has potential, but needs work. My biggest complaint is the back and forth, line by line, tag team approach to reading the cue cards. Very annoying. The anchors should alternate by "news story" rather than every sentence. The canned laughter also sucked.

I thought it was a good start. The nice thing is with the "looneyness" of the left the writers will never run out of material. As someone noted earlier this would be a nice vehicle for Dennis Miller. I want to see impersonations-of hillary, Al Frakhen and Michael Moore.

I didn't catch the name of the comedy show I watched with a "Chris Matthews". Was this it?

I watched about three "interviews" before turning to Animal Planet reruns.

Personal opinion - not funny.

[pookie18]

I not only posted one of the several threads on it, but also promoted it with video clips in the ping for Thursday's & Friday's Today's Toons. I believe that the 2nd pilot will air on March 4.

[sauropod]

I think it sucked bigtime.

[Republican Babe]

It touched my funnybone but I thought it was another way to blur and confuse the real news. Sorry but....the MTV crowd will think it real. "Fair and balanced" will be their silly issue.

[zook]

I liked it, especially the BO Magazine bit. The two newscasters need to relax a bit, not chew the scenery so much.

[Doogle]

The Rush and Ann administration must have drove libs cross-eyed.

[cd jones]

enjoyed it, looking forward to more.......love anything that ignores political correctness.

[Cathy]

It was OK. Agree on the irritating laught track and I missed Rush and Ann - but I hope it did drive some libs intp a sleepless night with nightmares.

The one really funny part was the BO Magazine - they need to print it.

I posted a thread last night:
1/2 Hour News Hour Thread"

[rightwingintelligentsia]

While I got a few chuckles out of it, I thought overall the humor was a little awkward, perhaps too contrived. They had some good ideas, but didn't execute them well.

I think the writers should read FR more for inspiration. We've got some very funny posters!
