Sherman's Showcase

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

First of all, I hope they put together a soundtrack. Really liked the songs. Loved Charade and the Temptations 11 sketches. Mary J was on point as well. John Legend and Common were a good laugh as well as the Brother you wrong segment. Good fun that I feel like was made for me.

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.

The comedy version of Soul Train...and it is hilarious!!! The songs "That Aint Right" i actually downloaded because it is too funny...and "Drop it Low fod Jesus" had me in tears. The Charade (aka Prince) ep is full of laughs...as is the Barry Gordy one too. This is raw comedy - and I love it.

This show is literally underrated. The ideas are so clever and relatable! The content was created with a specific cultural context in mind, which may be the reason for some of the mediocre reviews. I can't wait for season 2!
