Our Cartoon President (2018–2020)
1/10
A Terrible, Unfunny Show and an Opportunity Missed
25 February 2018
This show is an unfunny mess with predictable, stale jokes. Before you ask, no I am not a Hillary supporter or a Trump lover or hater for that matter. I'm not a very political person. Trump does a lot of crazy stuff but this show just doesn't do a good job lampooning him. Again the writing is just really sub par in my opinion.

The animation is OK at best. The voices are terrible, especially the guy doing Trump. It honestly seems as though they're just not really trying. Strange for a show from Stephen Colbert, whose strength always used to be that he had consistently solid writers working for him... well that and being an awesome host and writer himself!

Worst of all this Trump show is really late to the party. There are a ton of other great shows and sketches out there. The President Show is also not very funny in my opinion, but at least it has a good impression/Trump voice in it.

I love Stephen Colbert but this show gets a "fail" from me. I won't be watching any more episodes. It's too bad because an animated Trump show from Colbert could and should have been a lot better and funnier.

Son of Zorn (2016–2017)
9/10
Funny!
21 February 2018
I love this show! I'm not sure why it was canceled and didn't find an audience when most of my friends liked it and I was a big fan, but I guess we are in the minority here. Too bad it ended on a cliffhanger but that's how it goes sometimes. It was probably expensive to make too. But lots of laughs, especially the scene stealing Tim Meadows.

The Decision (2010 TV Special)
1/10
What a Horrible Idea
21 February 2018
The Decision is probably the stupidest way Lebron James could have told his fans he was leaving Cleveland to join the Miami Heat. How could anyone be surprised after that when almost all basketball fans outside Miami turned against him? It was just a very bad way to break the news to his fans.

Trainwreck (2015)
1/10
A Trainwreck Indeed
21 February 2018
Trainwreck is an absolute train wreck. I don't know why anyone in the world finds Amy Schumer entertaining on any level. Her stand up was awful, her sketch show did have some funny moments but overall was not worth watching. Later it turned out a lot of her stuff was apparently lifted which makes it even more strange that it was not funny at all.

Anyway I went into this movie expecting it to be not very good, and even then I was disappointed. Bill Hader was good and a lot of the other bit players were too but Amy Schumer was terrible and a few of the supporting characters were bad too.

Judd Apatow can usually do no wrong for me, either great stuff or at least watchable and enjoyable, but this movie is just awful. Terrible movie, terrible script.

It's not that the movie is dirty or anything, I am 100% fine with that. Dirty funny is fine, but this movie is dirty with nothing funny, and a terrible actress playing a completely unlikable character.

RoboCop (1987)
9/10
Super Fun
20 February 2018
Let's be clear. RoboCop ain't Citizen Kane but that's not what it is supposed to be, it's just a crazy fun, over the top sci-fi action flick.

Peter Weller is great as RoboCop, the rest of the cast is also great (his female partner, the scumbag at Omni-Corp as well as his boss the even bigger scumbag, the gangster played by the dad from That 70's Show, even the stop motion robot RoboCop has to fight against.

One thing I wasn't expecting was how funny the movie would be. There's a lot of great little satirical skits and jokes. Much of the comedy is very dark but still funny.

Be advised this movie was originally X-rated for a reason. A lot of the action is way out there with significant blood and gore factor with body parts blown off, screaming and even a melting or two. Do not let kids watch this movie.

The Annoying Orange (2009– )
1/10
Unwatchable Garbage
20 February 2018
I hope Dan Boedingkerk or whatever the guy's name is that made this pointless show never has another show again. The Youtube show is annoying, stupid and pointless and this new show is even worse. It's very annoying but nothing ever happens that's entertaining or funny at all, it's just a shrieking orange and other shrieking things shrieking pointless things constantly which never even approaches watch-ability. Whoever has the tapes incinerate them please.

Ed's Night Party (1995–2006)
8/10
Was Great Before It Got Ruined
17 February 2018
This show was great back when it was on TV on City TV late nights every Friday. It had a rude and funny cigar smoking sock puppet who would just rant about whatever it was that was on his mind that day. Usually that was something most every day people would agree with like how people walking slow in front of you suck, that kind of stuff. He had a couple co-hosts over the different seasons but they were good. The last one was a guy named Craig who was very funny and did a good job making his own jokes with Ed the Sock but also listening to Ed's rants and making them better with additional jokes.

It was just a late night show on a cheap dark set with no audience and a big fake laugh track and girls dancing or in the hot tub or sometimes both and sometimes they would get topless and most of them were good looking.

Where the show fell apart was when they got their first female co-host who apparently is also the real life wife of Ed the Sock or the guy who is the voice behind Ed the Sock or whatever. She was terrible! She had very big boobs but that was about it. All her jokes were awful and she talked way too much. It's like everything had to be about her. The show didn't last long after she came on and I'm sure that's a big reason why. The show just wasn't the same after that and it died. It's sad because it was so good at first.

Very Boring, Little Point
10 February 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I like the actor in this movie and have seen him in other things, but I'm afraid I must say that this is one of the most boring movies I have ever seen in my entire life. I can't even tell what the point of this movie is. I can tell that the filmmaker obviously thinks he has something very deep and important to say but it never comes across, so we end up with a two hour long bore fest of a movie that basically can be entirely summed up by "a guy goes to Mars, his water purifier gets broken on the way but he continues anyway, then he lands on Mars". Throw in tons of silent shots of him sitting by the window, reading, trying to sleep, bantering with one of the Wilson brothers pointlessly about nothing, working with tools, watering plants, and writing in his diary, and you've got a super long and boring film.

I think the main problem is probably the guy who wrote and directed this, it is the first and only thing he has ever made so probably he had no idea what he was doing or how to make it interesting. If you are going to try to be a copycat of The Martian at least try to be at least 1% as interesting.

The only reason this snooze fest gets a 2 instead of a 1 from me is like I said I like this actor and it's not his fault he had nothing and nobody to work with.

Sketch with Kevin McDonald (2006 TV Movie)
5/10
Hit or Miss
4 February 2018
Kevin McDonald is a very good host. I love him from Kids in the Hall where he was my favourite member. This show has a number of guest sketch troupes all doing a few sketches as guests. The sketches and troupes are hit or miss but over all this show is worth watching.

The Jane Show (2004–2007)

Like the Lead
4 February 2018
The show had a lot of problems. I think some of the reviews are a bit too harsh though. I give this show a 9 because I think the rating is too low and I like the actress in it. She's actually very funny and seems like a nice person, I have seen her in other things and live on stage. For whatever reason this channel seems to be unable to make a successful comedy show.

Workin' Moms (2017–2023)
1/10
Unfunny and Unlikable Characters
4 February 2018
I'm really losing faith in the CBC. This is just one of the many awful shows they've been turning out for a while now.

Workin' Moms is just a disaster. An interesting idea with nothing behind it. I wasn't going to write anything after sitting through the first six episodes but I just saw an ad on CBC designed to show how funny this show is and can't ignore it any more. Even the ad was so unfunny my head hurt.

The writing is awful, the acting is awful..... everything is awful.

Plus let me add that I hate that there are so many biased positive reviews here bashing men and anyone leaving negative reviews. I am bashing this show for being unfunny and stupid with some of the worst writing I've ever seen in a show. It has nothing to do with gender or subject matter.

Funny Short Video Comedy
4 February 2018
I remember this show. It was not bad. Very hit or miss but considering it looks like they had no budget and it really was just six guys shooting videos on their own they did a good job. The funny sketches were great but the problem was that between those there were a few duds. If they had put the great ones together and did fewer episodes or a couple specials I think it would have been a lot better. Still this is one of the few shows Comedy Network ever made that I would say is actually good.

Amateurish, Boring
3 February 2018
Wilderness Survivor: The Game is a very boring, unfunny and amateurish production. The lighting and sound are awful. The acting is also awful. The writing is virtually non existent, and by that I mean I literally would not be surprised if it turned out they did not really have a script, just a general idea for a story that they kind of made up as they went along. The jokes are awful and predictable. This movie just has no point at all. It's nice to see the cast, crew and/or families on here leaving rave reviews but this movie just is not any good.

Not Even Dave Foley Can Save This Turkey
3 February 2018
Dave Foley is usually great but has absolutely nothing to work with here, either on the page or in his fellow cast.

The writing is pathetic, with jokes that are both predictable and bad that a child could write or see coming a mile away. The situations are hack level and unbelievable with no consistent logic and nothing of interest to stay tuned in for.

The characters are all less than one dimensional, uninteresting, unlikable.

The actors are awful (except Foley). The lead guy and love interest are good looking but so awful at delivering lines and jokes (and acting in general) that it doesn't even matter.

Worst of all is the creepy little bald dude who is trying so hard to imitate the dean from Community, and who apparently is an alleged pervert? How did that story end up? Was he guilty?

Match Game (2012– )

Awful Remake of Classic Game Show
3 February 2018
The panelists are really awful and between them can never come up with anything more clever than penis or toilet answers.

The host is awkward, unfunny and can't seem to deal with the contestants.

The contestants are bland, bland, bland!

Nothing about this show works on any level. I hope I never see this show or any of the people on it on television again in my entire life.

How can they take such a proven tried and true formula for a classic game show and completely fail to make it any good at all?

Straw Dogs (1971)
8/10
Interesting if Dated
29 January 2018
At the time this movie came out it was very controversial, violent and nihilistic. But it is still worth watching today even though it is dated. Dustin Hoffman gives an incredible performance as a man possessive of his wife, insecure, jealous, and simultaneously frightened hunted and aggressive, excessively violent hunter. This movie should be watched by all film fans, not to guarantee you will like it but you will at least see a very different film with a unique point of view and some questionable morals.
