Load of rubbish!!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I read the reviews of the people who hated this show and they all have a common thread, they all loved Tosh.0 . I am not going to disparage their opinions, they are entitled to have them heard, but I wanted to clarify why the rest of the viewing audience should tune in. The host, Chris's delivery is stellar. His comedic communication and ability to actually relate to the viewer is a skill set that is rarely seen on television. As far as the Internet being the source for riffing, it works well, it provides a constantly changing source of information to joke about which keeps the show fresh. This format also provides a platform for comedians, writers and actors to actually have fun, and it shows, the energy is infectious. Finally, after a crappy day of work and a crappier day of ingesting bilious news, this program provides a nice grounding base and a way to laugh before bed, which is priceless. Will there be the occasional show that misses? Of course, but those shows are still better than anything else on television.

Do not watch this if you get annoyed by juvenile comedy, similar to that of Tosh.O. The most surprising part is how many celebrities have appeared on the show, although after seeing how many celebs are on the Nightly show, it probably has more to do with Viacom's influence. Either way, if you like key and peele, tosh.o, or even the daily show and Colbert's more juvenile bits, then go ahead and check this show out, enjoy. If not, thank goodness, we all need to work harder to raise the bar on what we consider comedy in our society.In my opinion, this show is nothing original and just wastes time, rather than contributing to comedy.

Between Tosh.0, Jeff Ross's "The Burn", and The Jeselnick Offensive, Comedy Central already has enough comics making fun of the internet. @Midnight also feels a bit to similar to Jeff Ross's show, save the arbitrary game show points handed out to @Midnight's guests. So far, I haven't seen @Midnight's format inspire a lot of good material from the comics either. As a fan of Hardwick and many of the shows guests, namely Scott Aukerman, Paul F. Thompkins, and just the general pool of alternative comics and writers the show features, i'm just a little disappointed that no one ends up looking very good, or very funny, on this program. Of course the show does have it's moments. Chris Harwick is a great host and the guests are funny people, and they do say some clever things from time to time. So, in conclusion, I can say that I like the guests that the show and Hardwick draw, and the show is probably great for some of the lesser known comics and writers. Unfortunately, it's just not a good show. It's poorly produced, sloppy, and rarely funny despite all of the great talent. Better luck next time Hardwick, because you know, and I know, and everyone knows, that this show doesn't have any staying power.

So I watched through 3 episodes to give this new show a chance. I didn't laugh a single time. On the contrary, many "jokes" were so painful to hear, they made me face-palm intensively; no audience of decent level would dignify them with even a smirk. Worse, a large part of the episodes is filled with the sound of Chris Hardwicks or his guests' annoying laughter. I can't believe that people compare it to Tosh.0, a show (which I find hilarious) that is far, far above @midnight in terms of originality, presentation, punchline bringing, dryness, video content etc.Just as there is "English" humor (Rowan Atkinson for example), there is also "American" humor. Maybe @midnight is just a part of American humor I cannot appreciate or understand, but I find it's content downright thoughtless, witless and annoying.
