Doesn't Work

This show is just so bleeding awful. I suspect that the "live" audience laughing so hysterically at the lame, run-of-the-mill jokes are crew and staff members. The acting is so stiff that no line is delivered with any subleity or wit-not that any wit is contained in this thing... A standout if J Norton, whose awfulness is even more pronounced as he behaves like a cartoon character come-to-life.

All he seems to do is rant his lines as if he realizes that there is no real "funny" or "edge" to them and yelling will make it appear that he's giving you edgy material. Perhaps a delivery that's softer, or out of left field, at least, would catch the audience unaware to add some element of fun. But,no, the concept of comedy eludes him. The nudity on the show has no reference, other than to present nudity. Again, they think this will provide "edginess". Nick DiPaolo, one of my favorite stand-ups, is wasted as the super and given no jokes at all! Unbelievable.
