It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I really liked it. Of course I haven't really seen it on TV, I have just attended the taping of the last five episodes. It is tightly written and the jokes are good. The jokes are topical and the skits work.The individuals who criticize the show are bitter leftists who criticize it because it is conservative. Almost all of the jokes are aimed at the left and the politically correct beliefs of the left. It is fun to see the left parodied and made fun of. The acting is good and the entire integration of the show works. It is filmed in front of a live audience and although we are given cues as to when to laugh the show is quite funny and we would laugh regardless.If you compare this show to Saturday Night Live it is certainly better than that show over the last five or six years. It is not a good as the early SNL, but the format simply doesn't work. A phony news still has to do news.We were also doing separate jokes on Paris Hilton being released from jail and her being remanded. In editing one set of jokes was selected.

One of the funniest parody shows on T.V. It's what SNL used to be! I know the lefties won't like it because it makes fun of them! I guess the lefties only like shows that make fun of the right. I love it when Rush plays the president. Wouldn't that be great? Ann Coulter as VP? Now, that had to drive the libs nuts. With some of the comments I've read, it did! I bet if they made fun of republicans or the religious right or republicans, they'd love it! Rush and Coulter played their parts with deadpan humor. I've seen the first two episodes of the new season. They were great! And, oh no, Rush played the president again! Anyway, I'm hoping the fantastic writing will keep up and they won't go soft like SNL have. Now, there's a show that's gone downhill! Way to go Fox News for having such an exciting and very funny show!

First off, I don't really see the logic in placing this on Fox News to begin with. The Daily Show and Colbert Report are on Comedy Central, a network intended for humorous, entertaining broadcasts. Fox News is meant to be part of the news media. Stewart/Colbert comparisons aside, this show is poorly executed. Most of it isn't even funny. It's propaganda with a laugh track. Jabs at Rosie O'Donnel, Jack Murtha, and Nancy Pelosi are followed, not by an original joke, but by quotes of said figures and others followed by canned audience laughter. The show frequent attacks the ACLU viciously without so much as even a joke ANYWHERE in the segment. But for some reason, there is still laughter and applause following it. Without the laughter artificially inserted, this show would simply be Hannity's America. Oh, and did somebody say "OJ Simpson? He murders people!" Ha, this show is sooooo current in its comedy. Overall, it's a crying shame that this show is still on the air. It shouldn't matter what ideology a comedy show leans towards. What matters is funny writers, well-timed delivery, and a producer other than the one who does 24. 1/2 Hour News Hour is none of the above.

When I saw the advertisement for this on the FNC, I thought it was kinda funny. This show might offend the following:Illiegal Aliens Space Aliens Liberals People that voted for LiberalsThat was kinda funny. Sadly, the show only goes so far beyond that. The episode I'm watching right now had Rush Limbaugh as the president and Ann Coulter as the VP. They weren't born to be funny. They tried too hard to be funny. And they weren't that funny. The actual show is a little better. The anchors are merely OK. The material is that of Weekend Update, and the classic SNL skit is ten times as better. But, truth be told, there is a little treasure to be found in the trash. Some of the stuff is actually quite funny. When I say it was a rip off of Weekend Update, and it is, it almost duplicates it, and the humor in it too. Yeah, sometimes I look at it and say "That's not funny" but other times I laugh out loud. The laugh track certainly doesn't help, however. It sounds like there isn't a live audience, because the people laugh with the same volume at every single joke, which doesn't happen in sitcoms, where there is an actual live audience. This show might go for a few more seasons. The writers aren't bad, but The 1/2 Hour News Hour (clever title by the way) is still a ways away from being anything worth watching more than a few times.
