Studio C

The hard question for Christian, Catholic, Mormon faith based TV is how do you create a show that is funny yet clean.

The answer is twofold. One, don't be religious. Studio C is wholesome and clean but is not religously themed. It will incorporate religious references but not hit you over the head with the meaning.

Two, let it be funny. In order to be funny sometimes you have to be mean or snarky. You do not have to be crude, abusive, or vulgar.

I have yet to see any other religious network find this mix with a show that could even be considered in this show's league.

Beyond that the writing is generally very clever, the acting good, and the jokes funny. Like any sketch comedy show, some sketches are better than others. However, consistently most are funny and some are out and out hilarious. The anthologoy of worst insert profession here is absolutey great. However, it think the best sketch was Shakesperean Therapy - if you have not seen it check it out.

This show is extremely funny and it is good for the whole family. It covers a diverse range of subjects and has explored a wide range of comedy types (parodies, characters, musical comedy, situational, etc). Each cast member is extremely funny and contributes their own type of humour as well as forming a cohesive ensemble. It can be seen on byutv or on youtube which is where I watch it. I look forward to seeing more of them and watching them grow in popularity.

Probably the one of the best out there, Studio C was created by College students FOR college students at BYU University in Utah. It ended up on air, and boy am I glad it did. With sketches like "Shoulder Angel," "Awkward Avoidance Viking," and "Juuust Jeerreeemyyyy~," and characters like Mr. Ekilstone, that Bisque guy, and Captain Literally, this show is perfect. Now you're probably saying to yourself "Where's the cursing and Sex gffhgdfgh!?!?!?ONE/ONE1/1/1/!?!?!?" Well, this was for LDS and Christian audiences. So, no cursing, no sex, completely clean! Good for me, as although FNL is freaking hilarious, this is just as, if not FUNNIER than FNL AND a heck of a lot cleaner.

We discovered Studio C half-way through season 2. We wish we had discovered it a long time ago. Luckily we can find any missed episodes on their web page. It's so funny! We can watch and laugh together as a family (4 kids ages 7-19) because it doesn't contain anything inappropriate--no sexual innuendos, no profanity, nothing embarrassing to watch as a family. Also many of their sketches are familiar enough that we can understand the humor, yet there's a lot of creativity. All the actors are very talented, many can sing and dance and are attractive. Mostly they are all hip and funny. We all love it! We're hoping to catch a taping for season 3 if we're ever in Utah. AWESOME!

This is the only show I watch as it comes out instead of getting to it later with no commercials, which isn't to say that I don't go back and watch the individual skits over and over. This stuff is so funny, and you can find all of it on youtube if you need to catch up.

If you're like me and think that SNL only has one funny skit in twenty lately, then you'll love these guys. Just about every skit is comedic gold and all of it is clean and decent. You really can't go wrong here, and if you do check it out on youtube, I can guarantee that just about any skit you click on will be hilarious. When IO go looking to watch one again, I always find myself having trouble choosing the next one from the amazing selection of great skits on the right side. You really gotta check them out. We could all use a good laugh.
