Phishbulb February 17 Share February 17 Looks like the show is in reruns all next week, but I get it. This is a show that could probably burn itself out quickly if they tried to crank out a new episode every week of the year. Link to comment
possibilities February 17 Share February 17 My guess is that they'll follow the same schedule Colbert does. His show is also off (as is Seth Meyers). We insomniacs will have to watch Kimmel, The Daily Show, or QVC or something. Or, you know, get some goddamn sleep for a change.... 2 Link to comment

iMonrey February 28 Share February 28 Monday's show was good. I liked all three panelists. I've tried to listen to Marc Maron's podcast but he interrupts his guests incessantly and seems to have a moderate case of ADD. I've never seen Brendan Hunt in anything else but Ted Lasso so I'm not familiar with his background. Zainab Johnson is great in Upload, I'm curious to check out her stand-up special. Speaking of which, I watched Taylor Tomlinson's Netflix special this week, or at least part of it. It wasn't very good IMO. Link to comment
possibilities February 28 Share February 28 Tues night was fun. The panelists seemed to be having the time of their lives. I had no idea Dulce won a GLAAD Award. I had to look that up, and yes, it's true. Apparently she did something awesome when she guest hosted The Daily Show, but I don't remember it, so I can't say what it was. Good for her, though. The shirt about "doing sex" made me sad, somehow. I mean... yikes. Link to comment

I feel the same about Fortune Feimster. I've seen her on several sitcoms and she's always just some version of herself. I have a feeling she (along with Dulce) has been told her whole life that she's "funny" but maybe they didn't mean it in a nice way. Her standup isn't very good. I didn't hate her on The Mindy Project though. I do, however, love Tig Notaro and Mae Martin so Wednesday's show was great. The three of them worked well together. Link to comment

HJO had a hilarious role on "What We Do In The Shadows." However, I didn't think he was very good at this. Kurt and Esther were both much better. I don't know why the randomness of the points assigned bugs me so much when the show is just a fake game but HJO winding up with far more points than either Kurt or Esther really bugged me.

possibilities March 7 Share March 7 The show has veered off the rails again, in my opinion. It went from camaraderie to chaos last night. I thought Adam's bit about the name/logo was funny and warranted (it bothers me, too! @ is not "after"!) for a while, but then it just seemed like he was doing it because he didn't have any other material, and it seemed lazy and time wastey and I got annoyed. I also thought Ron was not in top form. Really, everyone last night seemed kind of slow, and off their game. 4 Link to comment
ottoDbusdriver March 9 Share March 9 Kurt Braunohler is becoming the Tom Lennon of this series -- two appearances, two eliminations. Hey, you can say 'taint' on CBS. Who knew ? It was great to see Ron Funches again. Loved the championship belt from @Midnight. Loved the suit and hat. Adam Pally's commitment to the confusing show name bit was pretty funny. Taylor was rocking that pleather jacket on the Thursday show -- even if she did say it was hot. The VR charades game was different. Link to comment

They began to suspect that at some point their parents had gotten them mixed up or the identical twin id system had failed, and they weren’t confident that they each were the twin they thought they were. Really interesting, a lot more to consider than I would have thought. I won’t spoil anything but not a cliffhanger. 1 1 Link to comment

iMonrey March 13 Share March 13 Have the Sklar brothers ever been funny? I've never thought so. I mean, they had a funny guest appearance on What We Do in the Shadows, but that was scripted. Presumably not by them. Rob Haze looked like he would rather be anywhere else. Which is exactly how I would feel standing next to the Sklar brothers. Taylor quoting Rotten Tomatoes prompted me to look it up. The show currently has a 45% audience rating. Oof. 1 Link to comment
possibilities March 13 Share March 13 I really like Taylor. And I agree that Rob looked like he was hating every second of the show. I did not understand what was so funny about the "kid on the rail" bit. 1 Link to comment
iMonrey March 14 Share March 14 I'm sure some of the lesser-known comics appreciate the exposure the show gives them but in some cases it's not doing them any favors. Never heard of Pink Foxx before and nothing she did on this show made me want to look up her work or follow her. Wednesday's show was great though, Matt, Caroline and James were on fire and having a blast. 1 Link to comment

Dewey Decimate March 18 Share March 18 I can't recall which booted comedian said it on an ep weeks ago, but someone said "this show should be 30 minutes." I couldn't agree more. I think Taylor is doing a good job and most of the games are fun, but I have 8 episodes backed up on my dvr right now because when I have a half-hour to watch something entertaining, I just can't squeeze it in. Really want to continue giving it a chance but it's occupying too much t.v. time for not enough concentrated comedy. 2 Link to comment

It's concerning that I am still thinking about that, and not the jokes, though. Tbh, I’m surprised if anything about the show is memorable. I don’t even mean that negatively- what I want is for it to be funny in the moment while I’m watching it, which it generally is. I feel like that’s the goal of the show- to be cheap, disposable humor. I mean, the signature game is about spitting out as many puns as possible in a minute. If anything, the memorable things are the times where the show didn’t work- like that chud Pally trying to hijack the games. Since I don’t want to end on a negative note, I’ll add that if something is going to be memorable for a good reason, I’m not surprised PFT was involved. 1 Link to comment

possibilities March 25 Share March 25 Taylor has a bit they're airing for Women's History Month. I saw it tonight while watching Tracker. Apparently there are a lot of women behind the scenes, working on the show in all kinds of roles. The spot part of the "if you can see it, you can be it" campaign. They flashed on so many folks, it kind of blows my mind how many people are needed to put on a show like this. It looks so simple when you watch it, but apparently it takes a huge number of people. Taylor gets a little choked up saying she wants girls to know it's not just her, there are lots of women working on the show in every capacity, and she wants to make sure girls know: you can do anything. 4 Link to comment

I think I might have seen Amy somewhere before but not the other two. They all played really well together. I love it when they narrate silent Tik Tok videos. I wish they'd do that more often. What doesn't work IMO is the non-podium games. I've yet to see one that was really funny or really worked well. Ranking female singers, directions (?!) and sandwiches was dumb. 2 Link to comment

The one non-podium game I thought went well was when they had the panel pose together to recreate a photo. I wish they would pick up the pace, though. There is just too much dead air while they silently laugh over their own jokes. They could do twice the material in half the time if they fixed the pacing and stopped wasting time. 4 Link to comment

iMonrey April 2 Share April 2 Monday's show was really good. All three comics worked well together. My favorite bit was JoJo Siwa road rage. But I don't like the games where they have to guess whether the panelist is telling the truth or not. I'd just prefer they show the beginning of a video clip and then make up how it ends. That would probably be a lot funnier. Also, I don't get the point of "whisper your wager into your podium." That just seems dumb. 3 Link to comment
Red Bridey April 5 Share April 5 I found last night's show quite entertaining! Loved Affian (?) and actually laughed out loud at some of the group's jokes ( which I assure you doesn't happen very often). And my CBS affiliate didn't mess up like they did with the previous night's show, missing the FTW options for extra commercials and just rolling credits. Srsly, what the hell? 1 Link to comment
iMonrey April 6 Share April 6 I see they have tweaked the format a bit. They now spend the entire first segment on Group Chat, then do Hashtag Wars after the first commercial break and after the talk show portion. That means one less game overall, which is probably for the best, since some of them don't really work very well. That said, they spent FAR too much time on the talk show portion in the last episode. The comics were just sucking all the oxygen out of the room, especially London. She needed to dial it down from 11 to about 9. Link to comment

iMonrey April 17 Share April 17 The show continues to be hit or miss. They really need to sit down and decide which games are working and which aren't instead of trying to come up with new games all the time. I've yet to see one work where they come out from behind their podiums and try to act something out. This last one where they did improv Cameo messages was really bad. Also, trying to guess the Vine clips was pointless because they were so obscure nobody could ever guess them. 2 Link to comment
ams1001 April 17 Share April 17 (edited) I usually just watch the clips on youtube (via the episode playlist so they're in order); there are no new videos so far today (it's noon...) so I am watching on the CBS website (April 16th episode). I watch youtube almost always at 1.5x speed but that's not an option on the CBS site. I don't know if it's just this group (who I am not familiar with - I've only seen Marcella before - and am not finding especially hilarious) or the slower speed but it's not as good. The USA USA USA chanting is not nearly as hysterical as Taylor seems to find it. My favorite segment is always Hashtag Wars. 55 minutes ago, iMonrey said: This last one where they did improv Cameo messages was really bad.
