1.0 out of 5 stars Poor vehicle for Lewis' talents April 4, 2008
By S. Nicoll
Having seen Lewis Black live and on HBO I was excited to see him have his own show. Unfortunatley he has little opportunity in this to entertain. Watched the first one, will not be watching any more.

1.0 out of 5 stars not a fan February 12, 2012
By Michael Hansen
The least amusing of John Stewert alumni. Attempt at shock value is really only offensiveness passed off as humor. Mostly grating

1.0 out of 5 stars It's Lewis Black... 'nuff said. September 3, 2008
By Earl Jones
Amazon Verified Purchase
This show is not my cup of tea. I guess I just don't care for Lewis Black, and the debate format doesn't get me past that. If you're a fan of his, I'm sure you'll love it.

I'm glad that Amazon made it available for free download. What better way to try out new programming risk-free?
