| +1 on Kroll show. Like any sketch comedy show some of the sketches are kind of stupid (pubLIZity), but the majority is awesome. The Degrassi rip off is particularly hilarious. |

"It comes from our names!" haha.. it's like a fine line between awesome and horribly cheesy at times, but mostly just awesome.
"Sex & The Cityyyy for DUDES!!"

I thought the first episode was good. I don't think it's fair to write it off so quickly because of one scene with the bad guy while Sweet Dreams is playing in the background. |
I was skeptical after the 1st ep but continued on to watch the 2nd. I just feel that it's trying to present itself as being smart and edgy when it's neither. It's like Taken, giving a wide audience the feeling that they're watching something gritty and dark, when it's really just watered down. All the Poe references just come off as cliche to me. Even Kevin Bacon wasn't very Bacon-y. |

| Sure, I agree that it's better than most. For me that isn't enough to be able to enjoy it, but it's better than most network programming I think. |

Ha! You have no idea how many composers that show seems to resonate with. It's on constant rotation amongst the peeps at RC. |

I simply cannot stress enough what an incredibly awesome show Justified is.
Also, Real Husbands of Hollywood. Haha!
Kevin Hart, who I've always enjoyed more as an actor as opposed to his standup, JB Smoove, who's possibly the funniest guy alive, Nick Cannon, Robin Thicke and Duane Martin, Boris Kodjoe. And they're actually being pretty funny. And it's on BET haha.
The show revolves basically around Kevin Hart, and the weird and pety little hi-jinx he get's himself into by being a weird little f*cker, but like on The Hills and derivates thereof, the camera crew follows the other characters around to let the stories pan out.
The creators employ the Shakespearean irony in the plenties, and we as viewers are time and time left to know what's going to happen beforehand, only to discover that Kevin Hart, despite his short stature and seemingly short temper, might have a little more cooking up in his head than he's making it appear.
I've yet only seen 5 episodes, thought I'd watch the newest one on my TiVo, but so far, I'm gonna say this is a sure winner. I mean, it's so nice to see a, and I pardon the political correctness, black show that's actually funny, and not a rehashed old sit-com with a ing laugh track. I grade this show to a 5 out of 5 fist bumps.
Edit: Forgot TA censors the word F*cker. I totally looked I had used the other 6-letter word that's censored :wtf: :toothless |

| Anyone see Black Mirror? Watched all three eps released so far. I like gritty and dirty, but the 1st ep made me a bit squeamish. |

| Haven't heard of it before. Looks interesting though :) |

| For the edge it demands of its audience I feel like they should be putting up better scripts. I don't know if it's supposed to continue beyond these three or not yet. |

I watched the first episode of the Kroll Show and it was pretty terrible imo. Other than that Degrassi parody it was pretty meh.
Key & Peele is where it's at at the moment in terms of sketch comedy. I love how ridiculous the sketches get as they progress. |
