I thought it was pretty good. Sort of an anti-SNL. Instead of dragging a sketch out until it is dead as dead can be these are quick and to the point.

I also like how they usually ended with a punchline. With SNL it usually drags on and there is no payoff. And as stated before if that sketch isn't funny you only have to wait a minute for the next one.

It was hit and miss, but I liked it and will try to keep watching if nothing else is on. I liked the "I'm thinking of something that starts with p" bit and the phobias.

I've always liked Mary Lynn Rajskub, but didn't realize she had a part on 24 (I stopped watching after Day 2) I may have to try to get my hands on Day 3 sometime.

Wow--these responses are mostly either "loved it" or "hated it."

I have to say, I thought it was hilarious--a skit show that I found actually funny. Far better than SNL any day. And seeing Chloe there was quite a surprise.

There weren't a lot of "bust your gut" moments, but the comedy is actually clever. I found myself chuckling sometimes after a skit was over. Great stuff. I hardly ever laugh, let alone chuckle at SNL.

It was mildly amusing, and as has been pointed out it does not suffer form SNL's problem of having 2 or 3 bad sketches in a row killing an entire half hour and losing the audience to channel surfing.

I agree, good silly fun. Certainly more fun and funny than most SNLs. The phobia skit was easily the least funny, but the short gags made up for it.

I can't believe so many people hated it. Were some people expecting longer sketches, or what?

For me, I was in heaven! I love this type of comedy. The corny, silly, goofball, obvious comedy. Yeah, I'm a fan of Airplane, Naked Gun, and all of that sort of thing also. This show is just perfect for me.

I liked everyone who was on the show, and I really liked the production of the show. Everything fit together just perfectly for a show of this sort.

I'll be watching this every single time that it comes on, I want more already!

Not longer, funnier. Or even funny, I would have settled for that.
