The Jane Show

The Jane Show is not funny at all.

It's a shame that so many Canadian comedies are horrible, and there are worse shows than The Jane Show, but unfortunately it is just another one of those awful shows that really should never have been made.

Most of it comes down to the show just not being funny. Not just no laughs, but not even a smile. We tried to watch it a few times but it is just disappointing in the laughs department.

Even just for the sake of the characters and story this show is just uninteresting, predictable and stupid. Even with some of the most ridiculous story lines the show fails to be any good.

VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Teresa Pavlinek was a popular member of the Toronto Second City cast. She has done numerous guest spots and commercials up here in Canada. Finally someone has the sense to create a show for her. The supporting case seems quite good too. I have now watched the pilot several times and I still find it refreshing. Though, I am not sure why the show is listed as The Jane Show 2004. (I might be wrong) But as far as I am aware, the show was conceptualized in 2005 and appeared on Global TV in Canada in early 2006. It is a fresh idea and hopefully it does well. Too bad this couldn't be paired up with Corner Gas. Now I know Corner gas is on CTV, but the two shows would be great companion pieces.

The show had a lot of problems. I think some of the reviews are a bit too harsh though. I give this show a 9 because I think the rating is too low and I like the actress in it. She's actually very funny and seems like a nice person, I have seen her in other things and live on stage. For whatever reason this channel seems to be unable to make a successful comedy show.

This show is stupid.

The acting is putrid and so over the top it makes me want to puke in my mouth.

The writing is about as funny as you would expect from a group of school children who watched a real TV show then were told to do a project on it.

I see no point at all to this show and don't see why in the world they would have actually thought anyone would want to see it, what is supposed to be the draw? The characters weren't just totally unfunny they weren't even interesting to me.

A huge swing-and-a-miss.

The main actress isn't bad but the character isn't that good and the show is not very funny. Even though I have now watched several episodes I just can't get into the characters or the stories but the worst thing about the show is the complete lack of laughs which is a big problem for a 'comedy' which this show claims to be. I hope this show gets canceled soon because there are no laughs and nothing special about it. I am always a fan of a new show that has a main character that is a female but please next time come up with something better, with more depth and especially (if it is a comedy) something that has at least one laugh in it.
