Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2004 Blue Collar TV does suck. Fuck, the Blue Collar Comedy Tour sucked. The only thing funny about it was Ron White's story of how he got arrested in New York, and Bill, Jeff, and Ron making fun of Larry. The vignettes between stand-up's were pretty funny too, but the individual stand-up routines SUCKED. I never got why people could find such stupid, unfunny humor hilarious, when George Carlin and Eddie Izzard and Lewis Black are all incredibly smart with their jokes, but not in the Dennis Miller "haha, I said a word you don't understand" manner, and their fans aren't as vocal.

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2004 I enjoy all of the Blue Collar comedians and there individual stand up. Does that make me stupid for liking that and not so called "smart" comedy? Because you seem to be implying that. I also find Jay Leno funny which a lot of people have a problem with to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 5, 2004 Eh...this show wasn't bad at first, but I can't stand to watch it now. I also can't stand that Nicky Dipaulo guy, so him being a regular doesn't help my interest. Fucking Comedy Central. STOP CANCELLING ALL OF YOUR BEST SHOWS What shows are you talking about? Including Tough Crowd, I can only think of 3 "cancelled" shows that could be considered good, but none of them were great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Including Tough Crowd, I can only think of 3 "cancelled" shows that could be considered good, but none of them were great. Hey now, I never said great. CC has never had a "great" original show, IMO. They have cancelled Strangers With Candy, Upright Citizen's Brigade, Win Ben Stein's Money(the only good game show the network has ever produced), MST3K(or did they not renew their deal; I can't remember), and they've almost completely paralyzed KITH in late night. At least they had the foresight to abort the shitfest called The Man Show. Also, I find Ron White and Larry The Cable Guy's standup to be funny. Foxworthy and Engvall however can take their tired "men versus women" routines and sodomize each other with a herpes-infected plunger handle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say Reno 911, South Park, and Chappelle when he's on are all great shows (by on I mean doing great that show). I just thank God that Shorties Watching Shorties got cancelled so fast--it's the only thing that could make Dane Cook unfunny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted October 5, 2004 MST3K(or did they not renew their deal; I can't remember) They canned this show when the network was trying to become more hip in the mid 90s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Staravenger Report post Posted October 5, 2004 Speaking of getting rid of things to get hip in the mid 90s, do they STILL air the same 20 episodes of the Critic? I mean, it's not like it was a show that lasted for 100+ episodes, it barely lasted 20 (23 to be exact I think). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Staravenger Report post Posted October 5, 2004 If Comedy central ever started using In Living Color on the network, I will forever over-look them canceling Win Ben Steins Money and Strangers with Candy.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 5, 2004 Ben Stein's Money wasn't the same with the female assistant. Weren't Strangers With Candy and Upright Citizens just reruns on CC. I didn't think either were CC originals. I thought the MST contract was coming up for renewel and CC didn't renew it because they were going in a different direction with the network. Other than MST, South Park and Chapelle's show by themselves blow away any ex-CC show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starvenger 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2004 Ben Stein's Money wasn't the same with the female assistant. That's probably because the pseudo-gay rapport didn't work well with Nancy there. Ben was still Ben though, and I'm always impressed as to how much this guy really knows... Beat the Geeks was also good, although I wasn't ever impressed by the guest Geek.

B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2004 I'm not too surprised that "Tough Crowd" is done. It started well, but this last season was just not funny at all, with the exceptions of DiPaolo and Norton. I just don't think that Quinn is funny enough and has the presence to host his own show. He's muchbetter as a second fiddle, like on "Remote Control." Best. Game show. EVER. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could just say that I think George Carlin's comedy is idiotic and you're a moron if you like it and that would have about the same credibility as what was said.

GreatWhiteNope 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2004 Back to topic: http://entertainment.news-leader.com/today...lat-193950.html The program that followed "The Daily Show," "Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn," is being put on hiatus as Comedy Central tries to find ways to extend "The Daily Show"'s ratings "beachhead" later into the night. So it's not cancelled. They'll probably bring it back mid-season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2004 I thought Undergrads was originally an MTV show. Boy, that makes me miss Clone High, Celebrity Dathmatch and 3-South. It was, but CC airs reruns late at night. The people who make Undergrads are apparently wanting to do a second season and they contacted CC about it but there, to my knowledge, has been no interest from Comedy Central. Oh, and Deathmatch reruns air on MTV2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
