This is the only show that is capable of making me laugh 'til I cry. 'Friends' used to. Occasionally. But this show does it on a regular basis. Forget everything else that purports to be comedy. This is the real deal. There is, of course, the occasional unfunny segment. But that's to be expected. It's not easy coming up with burning satire four days a week. And people's tastes vary. (A weekly format would probably suit the content better.) But in general, I can't see how anyone could have a bad word to say about it. (Except, of course, O'Reilly, Hannity and all the other GOP/Murdoch stooges at Fox News. And anyone else who doesn't have an open mind and the ability to laugh at themselves.)
