Re: Some Cable Broadcast News (3.00 / 1)

My God. Even its title, one of the only vaguely funny things about this show, is unoriginal: see This Hour Has 22 Minutes, a long-running Canadian political satire show. (It's a riff on the 60s-generation news show "This Hour Has Seven Days.")

I should also note that 22 Minutes, even in America where half the jokes make no sense, is still infinitely funnier than this bilge.

There was also the "Half Hour Comedy Hour" way back in the early days of MTV, am I right?

Re: Some Cable Broadcast News (none / 0)

Can't find any record of that online; but IMDB does yield "Pat Paulsen's Half a Comedy Hour" from 1970, and "Half the George Kirby Comedy Hour" from 1972, which featured a very young Steve Martin. Huh.
