    Freak Show "Glaucoma" Talkback.

    Like This Thread!
    There's a new Freak Show after South Park Tonight.

    "Defying their orders to roll back the odometer in the President's car, the squad determines to go to Vienna to protect the Hartsdales at an awards ceremony for glaucoma research."

    Hopefully it's better then last week. If it is,enjoy!
    Instead of just using this new signature to celebrate a thousand more post, let me list of all the great things you can expect of me on this board for 2012:

    ...... The same talkbacks you saw me do last year but with new episodes.

    I'm not usually the one to make these comments, but this was terrible.

    Not impressed. They've got the talent but they need to improve the writing...

    Yeah, this was um... pretty horrible.

    What the heck

    You'd think with all the talent this wouldn't be so bad. I really don't get what this show is going for.

    edit: I apologize I made that comment before seeing the final few minutes but I really doubt anything will change in that timeframe
    It recently dawned on me that my signature could be interpreted as being said by me. For the record, this was not the case. If the previous signature reduced your opinion of me, please increase your opinion. Thank you.

    You know, I was thinking of watching The Nine instead of South Park and Freak Show tonight because I figured I could watch South Park today before Drawn Together. But, then I remembered that the first episode of the Nine didn't really impress me that much, and I figured I might as well watch South Park and Freak Show. Then after I watched South Park and I remembered how awful Freak Show was. I didn't laugh once this whole episode. I should have gone with The Nine after all.

    Is it just me or do David Cross and H. Jon Benjamin play like nearly every character in this show? It kind of sounds stupid to hear the same two voices coming out of every character.

    Um... they do play every character.

    Will Arnett voices the FreakMart manager. And some female actresses voice the female characters.
    Grampa: I say we call Matlock. He'll find the culprit. It's probably that evil Gavin MacLeod or George "Goober" Lindsay.

    Bart: Grampa, Matlock's not real.

    Grampa: Neither are my teeth, but I can still eat corn on the cob, if someone cuts it off and smushes it into a fine paste. Now that's good eatin'!

    Also I think Tim Heideicker (Tom Of Tom Goes To The Mayor) plays the Gay Republican but yeah not a lot of diversity in the roles.

    The first act of this was the best part. And I guess that's due to Will Arnett and his reoccuring role as the Freak Mart manager whose probably the reoccuring villian and such. I liked his interaction with the others (from the inviation he wrote down, his supposed threat and his talking about how they'd "benefit" at being in Freak Mart) as well as the job about rolling the Odometer back and getting a guy to do it. After the first act though thinks kind of faltered. I liked the disguises at the party, the manager being confused while on stage, the camera that looks like a gun and the gun that looks like a camera, and the ending (plus all the good Benjamin and Cross interaction like the "joke" about Army Time) but otherwise a pretty eh halfway through. I do agree that this show needs to ship up but it's not totally awful. I mean it's not South Park or Drawn Together but it's not kid Notorious Level (the awful 2003 Comedy Central Toon that they tried to make a hit but failed).
