5.0 out of 5 stars funny, May 18, 2008

It's the gay version of SNL that you always wished there was. Like SNL, not every sketch is a winner but all in all it was very funny. One reason you might not laugh at every sketch is that the show is shared with our siblings (gay or lesbian). I watched it was a lesbian friend and she was laughing when I was thinking of going to the kitchen and I was laughing when she was scratching her head and saying, "boys are weird". The one constructive criticism I would give the producers is that the topics explored were the overworked ones (coming out, PFLAG moms, etc) and exploring more sophisicated issues would greatly improve the show.

There are very few shows I can watch over and over and over no matter how many times I've seen them. This one is one of them! Every time I watch it, I end up in stitches! This is one of the most talented groups of people in comedy!

1.0 out of 5 stars TOTALLY UNFUNNY AND BADLY WRITTEN, November 11, 2011

The only laughs in this show are the canned laughter which is unbearable to have to endure continuously. I watched the first 2 episodes and found nothing at all to laugh at. Dreadfully corny and totally unfunny. If this was a British series there would have been laughs galore.I simply could not endure the rest of the episodes on the dvd and ceased watching it after the 2nd episode.It is one of those shows that you know after the first 5 minutes that you are in for a tedious time. Totally inane and childish sketches that it is a wonder the writers were able to have a second series. This is truly the very worst comedy show of all time. If you think that this show is funny then you have a very juvenile taste in comedy. There are some great gay comedians/ writers in America but the writers of this show are not amongst them. I cringed when I watched it.How could some one get away with such rubbish?
