Wanda at Large

I didn't know who Wanda Sykes even was until I saw the commercials for Wanda at Large. And I was put off by her put-down comments. Somehow, I saw the second episode and enjoyed it very much. Her edgy comments make more sense in the context of the story line. The supporting cast is pretty funny and the Washington, DC location is a nice change. Also, you get the impression Wanda would be a good friend and one with no illusions about people. You can't see her becoming bitter. I thought the segment about reparations to African-Americans was pretty inventive. Usually, male comedians touch on such issues. So, hats off to Wanda Sykes.

I have adored Wanda since I saw her stand-up special on comedy central. She is one of the most talented commedians I have seen in a long time. Since I follow her I was in heaven when she got her show, which is wonderful. My family and I have already made it part of our routine and cannot wait for it to come back next year. It's good to see a decent sitcom come from the "reality tv network".

There's only been two episodes of this show, but, from those two, this show is one of the best comedies - definitely the best comedy to come out of the last few years.

Wanda Sykes plays Wanda Hawkins. She lives in the same apartment building with her sister-in-law (Tammy Lauren) and her sister-in-law's son. Her wit and sarcasm lands her a job at a local TV station as a reporter.

Wanda Sykes is HILARIOUS. Both episodes kept me laughing from start to finish. If you aren't watching it, I really suggest you do. With the crazy stuff going on today, we need a good laugh. And this show delivers with excess. It's not just a show for black or white, young or old, etc.

Great show so far. Has the makings of an all-time best comedy show.

Rating: 10/10

I love Wanda! There is no doubt that she is very very funny! I watched her on comedy central a lot and she was amazing and so funny, so I was very excited when I heard that she was getting her own show!

But her show is indeed "Wanda". It is the real deal, but It seems very watered down, possibly censored. Normally there is 2 or 3 VERY GOOD laughs in each episode that keep me coming back for the first season and I think that the supporting players need time to grow. They just fall in the background as of now.

So the second season should be something to look forward to!!!

I first saw Wanda on "Comedy Central Presents...", then in a great performance in the movie Down To Earth. I thought she was absolutely the funniest comedian I had ever heard. She has quick wit and offers great views on life, race, and age. Though she is on Inside the NFL and Crank Yankers on Comedy Central, this is her first starring role, and it's a great role. For anyone who is board of the same old shows, turn to Fox and watch Wanda!
