The Jim Gaffigan Show

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.

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!

Season one of this show was hilarious. So funny and the banter between the actors was amazing and quick witted. We couldn't wait for the second season. Now that it is almost over - we can't figure out what happened. The ideas for the show are still great, but the writing is horrible. We hardly laugh at it any more. Sometimes we even fast forward through short sections. And why do they have to explain the show afterward? That should be their first clue that it is bad. If you have to explain your comedy, it isn't funny. I don't know what happened to the writers, but they need to go back to the way it was. Watch the first season on demand - but don't waste your time with the second one.

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!

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).
