… I love it … it's got your poo humor. It's got your pushing-PC-boundaries humor. If you don't like that, you're not going to like this show (which is essentially an expansion of the staged bits from Jesus Is Magic). You may not have liked South Park or Borat either …Entertainment Weekly gives it an “A-minus” and says:
… more or less just a miniaturized version of her 2005 movie Jesus Is Magic — featuring wan plots that serve as carriers for savage cultural observations, tiresome musical numbers, random sketches, and smart-bomb one-liners. (The first episode, for example, concerns a quest for batteries.) But where her movie overstayed its welcome, the quick-shot format of TV works beautifully. The result is haphazard, amoral, ridiculous, wildly offensive...and, you know, totally hilarious. …TV Guide says:
… Silverman reminds us how quickly the novelty can wear offwhile watching a pixie with a potty mouth. If there's such a thing as feminist frat-boy humor, Silverman has mastered it. Big deal. …The New Yorker says:
… the meanest sitcom in years — and one of the funniest … The brilliance of the show — the force of its argument that sitcoms turn us into loserish loners — is also its abiding flaw. We admire the purity of Silverman’s scornfulness, but we don’t want to hang out with her the way we did with Mary and Rhoda. Not that she’d let us get that close anyway. …The San Franciso Chronicle says:
… It's not very often that a TV show bursting with imagination, audacity, rude charm and a relentlessly funny worldview gets on the air, much less appears fully formed. But Sarah Silverman … has delivered an offbeat gem … a brilliantly realized reinvigoration of the sitcom as only Silverman could dream it. …The Hollywood Reporter says:
… Silverman's insensitive slacker character and her supporting cast milk big laughs out of mundane situations. … All series need time to discover their strengths and weaknesses, and this is no exception. But the show starts with a foundation of solid character comedy, which bodes well for the future.Variety says:
… may be the brightest addition to Comedy Central's primetime roster since "South Park." … if the program itself isn't complete magic, then, excluding Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, it's certainly as close as Comedy Central has come to it in a good long time. …10:30 p.m. Thursday. Comedy Central.
