  • Why didnt anyone think of this before? It wouldve been a great consept, if only the jokes made it work.

    7.8
    "Good"
    Everytime a show comes out that spoofs a genre, it normaly turns out great. The Office spoofs documentarys, The Daily Show spoofs News Shows, etc. So when sombody got the idea of putting comedians against experts, you'd think it would be a hilarious show... right? Apparently not. The first mistake was making the consept of the show to ovious for the experts. If they're experts on the Earth and beyond, youd think they'd know that they're getting screwed when the show is called "Crossballs". Even the jokes didn't phase anyone. "Train every hobo to become a clown", and the clowns keep comming out of the box. That isnt funny! So if your reading this thinking "If he doesn't like it, why did he vote 7.8?" Well, its because I think the show needs to be re-newed and made with more smart comedy, like The Daily Show or Bill Mahr. Think about it, experts on the nations education program debating with Stephan Colbert. It would probably work, but thats just my opinion.moreless
