Re: Shows You Aren't Watching that Rule
wife and I love every cast member. the round table was hit and miss, but the scripted stuff was always great.Dr. Medulla wrote:Just saw notice of the cancellation. I quit watching several months ago (the same time I quit the Daily Show; John Oliver is the only one of those types of shows I watch now). I really liked Larry, but as soon as he brought the other cast members to the panel, the episode just died. They were neither funny nor thought provoking, and I couldn't be bother to tune in just for ten minutes.revbob wrote:Yeah I just saw this very disappointedtepista wrote:Apparently no one was watching The Nightly Show, which is bullshit cuz it was fucking great. I never missed a single ep (thanks to DVR)

Re: Shows You Aren't Watching that Rule
If LW has a weakness (apart from hiring supporting players), it's that he doesn't do outrage comedy. He's a bit more appalled or jeering. And that's fine as a comedic stance, something more distanced, but it don't think it plays as well these days.tepista wrote:but not black. :(Dr. Medulla wrote:I've only watched clips of Samantha Bee's show, but it's been observed that the two best comedy-news hosts on American tv now are non-American—a Limey and a Canuck.Silent Majority wrote:I watch Oliver all the time, he's just talented enough at the job to make it worthwhile.
