Sherman's Showcase

Don't know why so many people hate this show. It's a straight-forward satire of Soul Train and a good one at that. It's silly and can be a little out there at times but just sit back and have fun with it. What makes this show even better is the music. I think the music is technically also satire but it's actually pretty good. The bands performances are usually over-the-top campy (on purpose) but the music is pretty solid. I would actually listen to this stuff if I could find it. Just give this show a try and try to ignore the bad reviews.

I watched and then rewatched episodes 1 and 2, both crazy, jokes I missed the first time I got on the second viewing, "Drop it Low for Jesus" and "Time Loop" are hilarious but with sick beats.

I think it's a great satire about "Soul Train", which I thought was hilarious in its hey-day . . .

This show is a masterpiece of comedy genius! If you grew up watching Soul Train, this show is for you! Excellent writing and acting. I love it!

This pure genius, and I wish there was more creative efforts made like this. I described it as "R&B Spinal Tap meets the Mighty Boosh* All the other negative reviews I've read about this show come from people who just don't get it. Which is a shame.

I grew up watching Soul Train and Solid Gold, so having a show doing a straight up surreal parody of both those shows was magical. And the music. Is. LIT. The time, effort and creativity to craft songs that sound real and legit makes it that much better.

I hope that IFC gives us at least one (two?) more seasons of the mighty awesomeness.
