You know, it's funny you say that because I will not watch those shows. Not because I probably wouldn't find parts of the shows funny but because I know what they think about conservatives even when they are poking fun at liberals. They hold us in disdain and I can't get passed that.35 posted on 01/28/2007 4:16:37 PM PST by coffee260 (

Really? I guess I'd have assumed that Nealon was a liberal, but that's mostly based on the fact that he's vegan.

The show is basically a bad version of the worst of Tina Fey's Weekend Update writing. I got really annoyed by Fey, who seemed to think Weekend Update was primarily about "informing" the audience (with heavy liberal bias), and only secondarily about joke-writing. Unfunny jokes were her stock in trade, but not for lack of talent, really -- just because she was choosing her material not according to the comedy value, but according to the educational value.
Result? Liberals went ga-ga over her for her relentless didacticism -- like her, they wanted not gags but "teachable moments" -- whereas Jimmy Fallon got all the laughs. You know-- laughs. The thing Weekend Update was supposed to be delivering.

My GOD, does this show blow. The guy doing the newscast shouldn't be allowed on studio property for fear whatever he has might be transmitted to other actors. The writing...well, it's like something you would expect from writers who have never done humor. Which makes me wonder if the second-tier talent from 24 is involved. Earth to Joel Surnow: comedy is a SPECIALTY. It's not enough to be able to fill a page and make a deadline. You have to have a special talent.

While Jon & the TDS crew do have a left-leaning point, is it really that hard to see that the show goes after those in power and pompous politicians doing stupid things? They constantly laughed or grimaced at Kerry's plunders two years ago, much less the Clinton Admin. Altho, that Admin was less stockd with braying jackasses, so the jokes weren't as easy.

Surnow and his friend Ann Coulter—the conservative pundit, and author of the pro-McCarthy book “Treason”—talked about creating a conservative response to George Clooney’s recent film “Good Night, and Good Luck.” Surnow said, “I thought it would really provoke people to do a movie that depicted Joe McCarthy as an American hero or, maybe, someone with a good cause who maybe went too far.”
I feel like the way this idea is framed is very revealing, and kind of ties in with what that review linked above says about the show actively trying to wring humor from things rather than looking for naturally-occurring humor. Notice that he doesn't say that he, specifically, sees Joe McCarthy as a tragic figure deserving of sympathy, or would like to reform the public perception of him; he simply thinks it would "provoke people" (see also: Barack Obama race jokes, reheated Ann Coulter foot-in-mouthisms, etc). I realize that this basically just confirms what everyone else has already said, but it's still kind of amazing (to me) to see just how straightforward his thought process is.

Not only that, but as a direct response to Clooney's out-there liberalism. HE'S MAD AS HELL AND HE'S NOT GOING TO USE REASON ANYMORE.

But, as said earlier on this thread and elsewhere, modern conservatism is pretty much boiled down to "we'll get those dirty hippies" and little else.
