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!

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?

A skillfully written and directed sketch show from the Logo network. Most of the humor is derived from the gay and lesbian lifestyle as indicated by the title, but don't let that cause you to hesitate watching the show. The cast is spectacular, the writing is hilarious, and some famous names are attached behind the scenes, such as Rosie O'Donnell and Amanda Bearse (you may know her as Marcy D'arcy from married With Children). Fitzwilliam, my favorite recurring character played by Kate Mckinnon and accompanied by his faithful magical unicorn, Trixie, is a snotty little British boy who wants nothing more in life than his very own vagina, much to the dismay of his father, the Earl. You don't have to BE gay to enjoy this show. But if you're open-minded enough to give it a try, I guarantee a gay old time.

We love "The Big Gay Sketch Show." It is exactly like "Saturday Night Live", only with gay-oriented themes. Very Hysterical!!

I've recently purchased and seen the entire first season of "The Big Gay Sketch Show".
And I've simply adored this lovable show!
Hilarious sketches, cute, sassy & funny characters.
With a hint of sweetness... Intelligent!
Superbly written, with great, beautiful and funny actresses & actors...
Most of all, it is deliciously "Very GLBT" in texture & flavours guaranteed to please all...
" GLBT Diversity at its best!"
Brilliant & great entertainment!
I do recommend "All Seasons Available" of this delightful Logo wonder called "The Big Gay Sketch Show" ! ! !

I have been looking for this for quite some time. I was hoping to find it at the local second hand book store, but this was too much of a good deal to pass up. Thanks for this great opportunity.

Really, really funny skits, I absolutely love it! My friends and I are constantly quoting this show daily!

Over-used themes, tired jokes and lame skits all comprise this show which should have been called Big Gay Blah. I was shocked to see two people actually thought this was funny. I think they are the only two. How is this show still on? To compare this show to SNL is like comparing Shakespeare to "10 Things I Hate About You."
