The Ron James Show

Unfortunately this show is just not very good. I wanted to like it and I tried to like it but there was just nothing in any of the episodes I saw that made me like this show even a little bit. Some of the stand up comedy that Ron James does on the show is OK but it is very short, has nothing to do with the rest of the show which is all made up of sketches, and just makes it more obvious how completely awful and void of jokes the rest of the show is. Ron James is not a very good performer outside of doing his stand up comedy sadly and the other acting is very bad too. The writing of the sketches is terrible. The jokes are like they come straight out of a child's how-to-write-a-joke book with jokes you can see coming like a freight train.

This show is painful to watch. It is not at all funny. I really have nothing else to say because I don't want to think about the show at all to write about it! It is an old guy telling really bad jokes and doing really bad skits. There is animation that you watch for a few minutes then it ends and you say why did it end? How can you tell it is even over, there was no middle even, just him talking for a while and then the skit ends, no jokes or anything. What is the point of this show? Can anyone have a show on Canadian TV? Where's my show, I would like a show where I don't even try to tell jokes and just put in the sound of people laughing when obviously no one in real life would actually laugh at this useless stuff.

The Ron James show is terrible, I'm not sure if it is still on the air but if it is they should cancel it right away. The jokes are terrible, his stand up comedy is the best thing on the show and even that is annoying with the way he waves his hands around and talks in a shrill voice using way too many words. All he does is use word play he doesn't have any real jokes. I don't know who actually likes this stupid show. The rest of the show is also all Ron James and all of it is terrible. I have to write more lines before they will let me submit this review so I will just say again I guess how much I think this show totally stinks up my TV.

I liked Ron James's stand up special but this show is so awful it hurts. One of the worst shows I have ever had the displeasure to sit through. I have seen three episodes so I feel I gave it enough of a chance, this show is just awful. I will not be giving this show another chance, it has already taken enough of my precious time away. Apparently I have to write more lines for my review to have enough lines.........so.........okay, the sketches are awful. None of them have been funny, not a single one. Also Ron James has done a good stand up special before (like I said already) but his stand up in this show is not very good either. I don't remember laughing one single time while I was watching this show, maybe not even a smile, I don't remember being entertained at all for one single minute. It is an awful show, easily as bad as Royal Canadian Air Farce.

As an enthusiastically devoted fan of Ron James' coast-to-coast specials, I was looking forward to a continuing series with the same earthily crisp, yet lavishly elegant writing.

This series reveals just how much work Ron must have devoted to his hour-long specials, and how difficult it truly must be to produce high-quality material for a weekly series.

Other fans of Ron's work will remember 'Blackfly' and join me in headshakingly similar disappointment.

His specials have provided me with dozens of gifts, this series, just another federally funded (unfunny) joke.
