The Green Room with Paul Provenza

To begin this, if you are easily offended (as the disclaimer says) do not watch this.

This is a series that gathers about a handful stand up comedians each show and simply discusses different topics with a strong emphasis on comedy. Some of the comedians work better than others together and yet some are so far apart they end up working because of it. The cinematography is nothing special but very suitable for the show (and the overall production which is very well done), the bar setting is close quartered and there is even ad on numbers from members of the crowd (which seems to consist mainly of comedians).

Underlying to this there is a more serious discussion about comedy in general and stand up in particular - in short this is a must see for any stand up or going to be comedian.

Pro's • Diversity • No limits (which all participants are in on) • Production • Host (a little worse off toward the end of the second season but overall passing with flying colours)

Con's • Looses focus at times • It would possibly be a bit sharper with 1 less guest • Exactly all episodes do not work as well as they could, without Jimmy Carr it would have been a lot better.

*Gotcha.

A great show where stand up comedians talk about various subjects without limits. Lame that it ended after just 2 seasons and episodes are 24-28mins long, which for me I'd like around 40mins, because of how great the jokes are and all around fun people openly expressing themselves. Probably got cancelled because they spill too much truth xd.

This is probably the best comedy driven talk show ever. Id say 95% great.

What bothers me most is that , for crissakes, it felt like my parents took away my favorite toy with no explanation. The fact that they're deaf, dumb, and blind isn't a good excuse.

I guess being dead is. But whatever. It's always something.
