I think he’s silly. JMO.
(Yeah, too easy)
Made it through the first episode and was embarrassed for all involved.
FNC should never have aired it, maybe another channel, but FNC lost a lot of credibility.
They have news 24/7 and there might be a place for satire in that lengthy mix.
I watched a very little and didn’t think it was up to par.
Good concept, miserable execution.
I wanted to like it, but it was forced laughter at best.
Big deal. Conservatives can’t do TV news parodies, Libs can’t do talk radio. I think we win!
Well, it was a nice try, hope someone tries again!
This is a real shame. The last few episodes really seemed to be hitting their stride. The humor wasn’t as forced as it was in the beginning and it was actually on par with some of the funnier SNL “Weekend Updates”.
I thought the show was tedious, but the anchor babe was surprisingly hot.
the 1/2 hour comedy hour failed becaues it was portrayed as just another skit show. (and the hosts were just annoying in the commercial)
I watched rush and that was all via net. I had no need or wish to see the rest.
FoxNews doesn’t need a special half-hour program for comedy. Much of their content has become comedy.
I stopped counting and turned the channel after 40 continuous days of Anna Nicole Smith Foxnews Alerts.
And that is just one example the direction their programming content has taken. They compete more with E! than with CNN.
Dennis Miller: good every time.
I am the ACLU skit: funny once or twice, but then it wore out (hey, that is like the typical SNL repeat skit).
Host segments: mostly boring. A lot of humor is the surprise, and too many times I was able to say the punchline before they got to it.
Rush and Coulter: not quite as good as Rush thought (sorry Rush).
Lorenzo Lamas Hollywood: pretty good. I liked the recent segment on sending in strange baby names to celebrities because they're running out. Names like Apple don't just grow on trees.
Laura Ingraham OxyClinton skit - Hillary-ious. If they could have kept that writing up, it might have lasted.
I ended up watching it many weeks, but I wasn't too upset when I forgot to record it or it was preempted.
needs to actually be funny in order to succeed
Then those people who are retooling need to leave the left wing newsroom.
In fact just bring back the rush limbaugh show on whatever terms Rush Limbaugh wants. Give him TOTAL control and a no cancelation clause.
Obviously the first creative team was just doing formula work.
Dennis Miller could make it a hit with him as anchor and with Jackie Mason as a roving reporter/commentator.
I despist the creep of of”T”en where the t is no longer silent. For those of us old enough to remember, prouncing the T was seen as being illiterat. (see “aks” vs ask.)
It would have worked if the writing was tweaked.
Much of it was funny such as the ACLU guy.
That was funny and the one why Obama and Hillary are avoiding each other cracked me up.
