"Little Britain USA" (10/5)
Thought this week's episode was fair at best. There were some good ideas, and writing. But the directing and pacing were way off. For almost every skit.

I don't want to be that guy who comes in and says the bitty bit was funny at first but then got really old so I won't be. But if someone else came here and said that, I would agree.
But what I will say is that this show has officially killed what was always my favorite skit of the show. Sebastian was always the highlight of every one of the British episodes. The interplay between the assistant and Anthony Stewart Head was always great. But now Sebastian is a prime minister?! OK, that's fine. I can deal with that, but then they go and destroy the best part of the skit from the last one. The thing that made the British skit truly hilarious was that Sebastian never actually comes right out and says what's on his mind. He's still very obvious about his affections, but he doesn't actually say it. That's what made the dialogue extra lively. Now he actually comes out and says he wants the president inside of him and talks about the president's penis! So much for British subtlety.

Ah but remember, they're trying to reach out more to American audiences so of course the humour is gonna be a little less subtle and more crude and dumbed down. Was there ever any doubt about this?

This episode felt like a low toner copy of the first week, which was only marginally entertaining at most to begin with. I just can't see watching the same jokes every week that I didn't find all that funny the first time. I love Britcoms, but I'm disappointed to say that I'm done with this show. Bring on the next season of Peep Show.
