The Jim Gaffigan Show

Comedy with realism and wit! Jim makes living with his family and friends believable and wittily funny. A joy to be in his world for a few minutes each week. Well written story lines and the supporting cast performs well too. Good to see a comedy "set" with a family that does not use their children as props instead of real human beings with feelings. Jim has a self-deprecating humor that is witty and honest and the way he and his spouse depict real life situations is comical as well as refreshing. A different kind of comedy and well worth thirty minutes of your time once a week!! You will not be able to watch Jim's comedy without enjoying how honest his feelings about life,family and marriage really can be full of laughter and truth.

First: Jim's show is not for kids. This show is about smart adults doing adult things, like eating and dealing with life. IF you are an adult, you will appreciate Jim and his writers reflecting real life issues, while making them funny too.

Second: TV Land has finally put on a show for adults that is not done in front of an audience or an annoying laugh track. Hooray! Third: This show is shot on location in New York City meaning the city itself is another major character of the show -- even more important than it was on the television show Seinfeld.

Last: This show has depth far beyond its twenty-one minutes. Good for you Jim. Keep up the great work!

The Jim Gaffigan Show is hilarious.

I have not seen much of his stand up. My husband is a big fan of Jim Gaffigan's comic stand-up. After watching this show, I am going to watch his stand up.

The chemistry between Jim and Ashley is great. They play off each other very well. We have been watching since the series premiere. The characters are well played by each individual actor. The banter between Adam Goldberg and Jim Gaffigan is perfect.

It is a must see show.

I recommend this show to everyone. I laugh from beginning to the end.

I have never really been a Jim Gaffigan fan. Sure, he's funny, but far from one of my favorite stand ups.

As such, I am greatly surprised by how good this show is - in my view, one of the best comedies headed by a stand up comedian in years.

The chemistry with Ashley Williams is believable and balanced, she is not just a prop, but in fact very funny herself.... I especially enjoyed seeing her come to life in Episode 4, rather than just playing the boring "frustrated" housewife.

Michael Ian Black is awesome as the snarly homo friend, and Adam Goldberg is finally in a role where he get's a bit of depth, rather than just being the token angry a..hole, which usually get's old really fast in his previous work.

All in all, this show is well written, well acted and well produced, and highly recommended to anyone who also like current shows like You're the worst (which I put this show on par with) and Married (which I rank slightly below The Jim Gaffigan Show).

Author, Grammy Nominated for Best Comedy Albums, Stand-Up Comedian Jim Gaffigan is to comedy today what Carol Burnett was to comedy in the 70s; clean and funny. Refreshing! His deadpan sarcasm is done beautifully for those of us who use and appreciate it. The entire cast of this show plays their part effectively and humorously. I love Ashley Williams who plays his wife. Adam Goldberg as a a fellow friend and Michael Ian Black are also spot on. I first became familiar with Gaffigan when he did a very small part in the wonderful 2004 movie 13 Going On 30. This show has a running time of about 22 minutes on Wednesday evenings on TV Land which is perfect as it keeps the viewer wanting more!
