Anybody see this show on Comedy Central on Sunday night? It's almost a Jerky Boys meet The Muppets kind of thing. A few funny things, but nothing rip roaringly hilarious. I expected more but got less. Not that impressive. :confused:

I also watched it last night. I thought it was ok. I didn't laugh out loud at any of it.

I saw a promo of it a few days ago, and based on that only, I just wasn't very impressed. I'm getting a bit tired of the rather dry "evil Muppets" subgenre.

I saw it. A couple of them had me rolling - the "beaks in my chicken" call, and the phone sex call were pretty funny. The rest was pretty average.

I liked the chicken beaks and Sarah Silverman's nanny thing, but I think that they should go easy on the dirty stuff. It's not that I find it terribly offensive, but I sometimes think that it somehow detracts from the real comedy, and that adding a lot of sexual references won't make something unfunny funny; anyone know what I mean?

I wasn't too impressed. So, do you think it will be cancelled, or will Comedy Central let it run forever?

1 month, then they will put it after south park, which is the nail in the coffin for 90% of the shows that go there (the exceptions are man show, and sofar insomnic hasn't died and i hope it doesn't :))

I think that's just supposed to be an encore presentation. Most Comedy Central shows repeat a couple of times during the week. It was also on yesterday night, which was when I saw it. It was good, some parts were better than others. I think it'll probably get old quick, though.
