Underwhelming
This show missed the magic of Video on Trial, the Canadian show it was based on. Video on Trial was the highest rated show in the history of Toronto's Much Music station (basically Canada's MTV and still is even though Canada now has "MTV Canada"... it's hard to explain).
Anyway FUSE made some big mistakes when they started airing Video on Trial. Instead of airing the classic episodes starring great comics like Ron Sparks, Debra Di Giovanni, Nikki Payne, David Kerr and Frasier Young who made the show great they only aired the current later shows when the only great comic still there was Di Giovanni and she wasn't in as often. The newer comics they had were not nearly as good though they still had a couple decent ones they didn't compare to the great early episodes where all the comics were great so the episodes were laugh out loud funny from start to finish.
Then when they realized the show wasn't as good as it used to be FUSE decided to make their own version with American comics who nobody has ever heard of and if anything it was even worse than the later episodes of Video on Trial.
These big mistakes meant the show would not last long and it really shouldn't have. The real shame of it all is that Video on Trial never came out on DVD and probably never will or it would have by now.
