The Rickey Smiley Show (2012– ) User Reviews

Tasteless

[averywa · 1/10 · 27 July 2013]

I just saw my first episode of the Rickey Smiley Show "MC T-Bagg Tribute." It was the absolute worse buffoonery I have ever seen on TV. If you went to the Grand Dragon of the KKK and asked him to produce a show it would result in the Rickey Smiley Show.

The show totally wastes the talent of the actors; none of the writers must have a maturity level over the age 15.

Please Rickey you have the talent to do so much better than this dreadful, lowbrow, mess of a show. Please learn from Bill Cosby, Jay Leno and others they made the millions without selling out their creative souls to the money god.

Flat

Like most new television series, the comedic timing is non-existent and the show lakes real concrete writing. Being of fan of many great television series in the 21st century. I'm just disappointed they figure get "Rickey Smiley" cause he's had success on the radio and stage but the show just is flat. I don't know where is the good writing. Complex funny story lines. They are just not there. IMO past it's not worth wasting I recommend watching TVONE'S Life After or Parole Diaries very great series. I respect TvOne for contributing to the black experience, but I just want some excellent writing. There are many black and other web series that should be given the green light and produced than some of the scripted television they are producing.

This show is the worst ever on television

This blatant rip-off of the "MARTIN' Show is television at its WORST! They have totally tried to re-invent the format for comedy that the writers of 'Martin' successfully did. I just saw a trailer for the next show? And they did the SAME "Little People Beats Up a Main Character" episode that Martin did. Rickey, who is NOT very funny, on the radio, let alone on TV, tries to play other characters while failing miserably. This show is just dreadfully written, poorly acted, and is destined for perpetual panning as the disaster it IS. TV One needs to cut-bait on this atrocity, and better utilize its airtime for something better written, and more original. Everything about this show speaks of amateurish, buffoonery.

About as unfunny as it comes

Despite the title of this show, this show is as unfunny as toilet paper, yeah it had high ratings on it's TV one debut, but this show is such an utter disaster that I Already nominated this one as one of the year's worst television, now I Enjoyed Ricky Smiley's radio show and stuff, but here he is horrible and completely wasted in a script that has gone completely wrong from the beginning, Roz Ryan and J. Anthony brown (who are good in other things in the past) are also wasted in their roles as well and what was Ray J Thinking when he appeared in this piece of junk, he is horrible in this one as well, there is zero laughs here, the teleplay is terrible, the jokes is useless and the performances are just awful, this show is a completely bad attempt to return to sitcom This is one of the year's worst shows And I Gave it a D+

The music

Super show great people funny and smart. Very knowledgeable on the current events. Everyone on the early show is fantastic. Great having Dr Collier there as well and I look forward every morning to this show. The James T show is great as well with everything except the music. This DP keeps cutting off all the songs to mix with others. Your getting into a song and then its cutoff with a song that's not as good. He keeps doing the Vincent price laugh in the middle of songs. You need to change this or make a change this guy is horrible I'm surprised this hasn't popped up from other listeners. I'm listening to James T right and this DP is messing up all the music.

The Rickey Smiley TV Show

[txtbksforsale · 1/10 · 30 September 2012]

I am a HUGE fan of Rickey Smiley and was soooo excited about watching his new show, but I am sad to say that I was very disappointed after the first show. Rickey Smiley is so talented and it's such a shame that the only thing writers and producers could come up with are weak, played out punch lines that lack the "punch". The TV show is a waste of air time and talent. After watching the first show, I thought to myself, maybe I'll try it again, so I watched the second episode and could not get through the whole episode. What were they thinking? There is nothing unique, entertaining or funny about this show - I will NOT watch it again. Every morning, I listen to Rickey Smiley on the radio and he is hilarious. I listen to him and how thankful and grateful he is to have this opportunity. However, every opportunity that comes your way isn't one you should accept - he has too much talent to have it downsized by such a mess of a show. It would really surprise me if this show comes back next season.

Rickey is that Guy!!!!
