Sarah Silverman last longer on TV than FOX had let "The Chevy Chase Show" remain on the air.

1. To everything, there is a season. . .
At the end of every Chappelle, there must be a Mencia.

For every Colbert, a Colin Quinn must die.

6. My impression from her "Aristocrats" segment: one joke wonder. Her shtick:
"I'm a hot chick, and men want to screw me." Delivered in a breathless, Betty Boop style, with a few variations.

That was pretty much it, from what I could see. :shrug:

7. I. Do. Not. Get. It.
HOW do men find her hot? I think she's, at BEST, average. Bleah.

8. Sarah Silverman has a certain genius....
Maybe you have to be a serious student of comedy to get it?

I doubt that she will last very long, though. And yet Mind of Mencia and Family Guy will carry on....:puke:

9. Family Guy sucks.
Silverman's a little better than that, at least.

18. Define 'student'
And isn't the best comedy be natural; no learning required? (No wonder she does the poop jokes... :eyes: )

15. I know her, and I agree.
I watched the clips at CC's website.
3rd grade poop 'humor'.
I was embarrassed for her.

14. To my surprise, I found her show to be really funny.
"Jesus is Magic" and her bit in "Aristocrats" both got on my last nerve, but I laughed out loud more than a few times watching her new show. :shrug:

19. I kept the show on long enough to see her sister, Laura, do her thing
and that was only because Laura was the receptionist on Dr. Katz. It was painful to watch. I kept waiting for the jokes to start - you know, when you start laughing because someone is doing or saying something funny on the screen?

Oh and, Sarah, just in case this post ever makes it in front of your eyes, your lemon-aids joke was being told in the mid-80s between people actually sick with the disease. You are not cutting-edge, dearie.
