    Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
    Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
    Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
    Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
    Jeremy Johnson What a shame that re-runs of this show are dismissed so quickly by so many people. Lets be honest, nothing (besides air, food, and sex) are appealing to EVERYONE all the time, but don't be so quick to judge this show for being "terrible" or "brainless" before you really get an honest opinion. If you've seen Sarah Silverman, Brian Posehn, or Patton Oswald do stand-up and you've found it to be enjoyable, you're probably going to get a kick out of this show. However, if you prefer more realistic situational humor, you might not. The comedy is often tongue-in-cheek and most of the jokes shouldn't be quoted to strangers on a subway, but its self-aware immaturity and dark humor will definitely appeal to those that find pleasure in said humor stylings. I won't lie and say that every episode is a gem, but it's definitely more hit than miss in my opinion and lacks the slow start that often drowns out most of the real humor until latter portions of episodes. All in all, definitely a 9 of 10 for originality, lack of boundaries, and creative characters that avoid stereotypical molds that have been ripping off friends since its second season. Looking really hard at you here writers of "How I Met Your Mother". For shame.
    warm4yrfrm Best show since Seinfeld. She's really really funny. Her total self centeredness, the hulking gay stoner neighbors, the departures into song or cartoons, make this the freshest show on TV. One of the few shows I make point of watching. The scene with the wise old black lady in the drugstore ("oh wait now that you're close you do look old" turns face with finger and walks away lol), the cough syrup overdose, sleeping with God, it's all so funny or so stupid it's just a lot of fun. The shows weak points are her sister and the cop-only because they're too darn normal!! I really can't wait until the next show, something I haven't felt for any show in a long time.
    Ryan Miller Long story short: Silverman should stick to her stand-up, she is not cut for a television series. And neither is anyone else in this show for that matter. Despite the fans insisting some deep and profound message lies with each episodes' story, it falls flat every time. The humor is forced and the writing is garbage. I couldn't even force myself to laugh at it. It wasn't offensive, it wasn't crude, it was simply plain stupid. And if that's what they were going for, then they shouldn't have even bothered to make the program. It amazes me anyone likes this show. I doubt it will last much longer. And the last thing it's going to be is a cult classic. I think it will go down as one of the worst comedy central programs in history, right next to "Mind of Mencia". Probably even worse.
    gort-8 I think this show is screamingly funny! It's not for every taste, and I'm not going to elevate or denigrate the folks that don't get it. I'm sure they're wonderful bright people that operate at a different wavelength. But if you like it, you REALLY like it. Sarah plays a self-infatuated loser named "Sarah Silverman" who often finds her self in Homerian predicaments (that's "Homerian" as in "Homerian Simpsonian").I remember Sarah Silverman from her brief gig on Saturday Night Live in the early 90's. I liked her immediately then and I go out of my way to check out anything she's done.This show is choke-on-your-food-and-wet-your-pants funny. Therefore I always fast before watching it and wear adult diapers. Check it out!
