I saw one bit and it wasn't funny at all. It seemed like an unfunny and awkward "Weekend Update" from SNL. The laugh track was obnoxious. I hope they do better so there can be something to compete with the liberal Comedy Central shows.

Thanks MrNiceGuy for your review.
If you don't mind me asking, which skit did you see?
I also heard another comment on the laugh track. Sorry to hear that it was brought out of obscurity for this, or any occassion.
Do you think it should be on FoxNews or on regular Fox?

The skit about the t-shirts.
I think it should stay on Fox News, since Fox has everything else in their time slots anyways, particularly on Sundays.

Has it been a year since The Half-Hour News Hour was on the air. I watched and thought it was a good concept to battle show like John Steward, and that other guy. My favorite episode was the one where Rush Limbaugh was President and Ann Coulter was VP. I understand that the union strike took the show off the air but I do wonder why FNC has not brought it back. I have sent FNC an E-mail and all I got back was a thank you for watching and they are weighing all options.

Way to go, Gewcew! Ya' know, I'll send an e-mail as well. Fox barely gave the concept a chance. And, I think that it could do wonders for competing with Comedy Central -- if they'd just give it a chance.
Thanks for bringing this back into current consciousness!
