    it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

    It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

    It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

    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.

    I have given this show (I have only watched seven episodes) four stars because most of her jokes/set-ups appear to fail. Some are not funny outright, but some are amusing -- in a 12 year old boy kind of way. She reminds me of that New York painter who throws paint upon a canvas, calls it art and sells it for a lot of money. Silverman throws out what she's got, including the kitchen sink, while she prays that a few things stick to the wall in her effort to be funny but different.However what she's "got" often times is not enough, as though she lacks the kind of follow-through a good comedian needs to succeed.The whole enterprise is like an under done potato.

    Sarah Silverman is really the "flavor of the month" comic right now. Is she really worth all the hype? Yes and no. She is funny at times, sometimes hilariously so (her standup routine is actually quite interesting, though not always funny). Other times, you're feeling cheated by the media for overhyping yet another performer. She is one of those really cute comedians that men especially flock to, saying that they dig her intelligence and wit. But if you corner them, most men will admit that they just want to sleep with her, and that's why they watch her. She reminds me of why many men flocked to Margaret Cho and Janeane Garofalo, even though neither of them are really "hot" now in terms of popularity. Sarah doesn't drink or smoke (at least cigs), so she should be hot when she's 60, so her fans (especially the male ones) can rejoice.As for this show, it's very much like her comedy. When it works, it's hilarious. When it doesn't, it's full blown tedium and very, very boring. The AIDS episode here is the best one. It's consistently funny, and has some really good satire in it. Brian Poeshn's character has an unhealthy obsession with Tab in one episode, and it's hilarious seeing him in a Tab T-shirt. But they never really go anywhere with it, and it eventually wears out its welcome. Sarah's character in the series is rather annoying, the gay couple (Brian Poeshn and some other guy) seems tacked on and never really does anything for the show as a whole, and the supporting players (including Sarah's real life sister, Laura, who doesn't look a thing like her) are OK. When the jokes hit, they're brilliant. When they don't, they're awful, and I mean really awful. There's also an obsession with coprophilia here (aka poop jokes), which seems to have replaced actual wit and intelligence in comedy today. So should you watch this show? If you have a crush on Sarah, go for it. You can gaze at her and pretend she's yours. As for her show, it's ranges from good to absolute zero.

    I had just watched one episode of this program and I couldn't even get to the end of the program. Every minute I had watched this program my I.Q must of dropped about 10 points. This is basically like a children's program but with swearing. Not even the swearing and the insults she tells other people made me laugh. Anyways the story must of been written by a monkey and the people who actually put this script for this program through for filming must of been held at gun point and had no choice but to film this retarded, disappointing, horribly acted program. Sarah Silvermann should use the little money she actually made from this program and get some god damn acting lessons.
