    9.4 Superb

    This was another very funny comedy stand up show. hide « show »

    A very great comedy series that gave an oportunity to several young stand up comedians. It gave several young people a chance to show there stuff to a bigger audience than they had ever been able to do previously. A lot of people got a good chance after making an appearance on this very funny show. There were several shows like this over the years, but I do not remember anything like it in several years. Is it possible that I'm just not looking in the right place. A & E 's and evening at the improv was another good one that I watched all the time. I would love to see reruns of it on cable somewhere.

    7.9 Good

    a good comedy show. hide « show »

    This was a pretty good comedy television series. As is normal with good television shows, this one did not last long enough. This is a show that I would suggest watching if you get the chance. Check the bargain bins at Wal-Mart, the online movies sites (Amazon.com and such) and all of the cable channels that run old shows. Nick at Nite and TV Land are great for theses kind of shows. They will even do a week long spot for shows that only had 6 or so episodes. Then you have your super stations. They run a bunch of old shows too. All in all a pretty good show that did not get a good enough chance. Sometimes it is a simple as the show it is up against. Look at Law & Order. It is one of the longest running shows on TV. They moved it to go up against Lost. After about 2 weeks of getting pounded in the ratings it was moved back to it's original time slot. Shows like this should be given more of an opportunity.
