A Black Lady Sketch Show

I almost really love this show, except a few too many sketches need to be edited. The plots just go on too long to maintain the humor. For example, the bar with the dances being stolen and the restaurant, the plot just continues and continues ostensibly to make them into a full fledged story with a beginning, middle, and end, but if it were just tidied up and ended sooner, the sketches would be spot on. Saturday Night Live does this well, just ending a scene after the jokes are made:

That said, I do actually laugh out loud and this show could be a 9 with some editing, trimming the script, and focus on delivering the laughs without providing a full, layered narrative.

Whether a sketch is good or great, these ladies are always a lot of fun. I'm in love with the Boppers sketch. Please find a way to bring them back. There's always one sketch per episode I flat-out adore and the rest are fun. Bring back the Boppers!!

Honestly not every sketch lands it's mark with me, but I am not a black woman from the US of A so i must be missing some references, same thing for my spouse. Everything else is often funny enough to compare with the world offer for international sketch shows of the last 20 years (UK, Canada, ect). Honestly it makes me chuckle around the house and the intro puts a lasting smile on my face.

The performances of Robin Thede and Gabrielle Dennis in S2- Episode 5, weren't just entertaining but impressive.

WHY did I not hear about this earlier??? I subscribe to HBO and have been definitely missing out. This show is ridiculously funny; the annoying woman had me literally doubled-over from laughing. This is NOT "def comedy jam" or some Wayans spin-off where shock-value replaces humor. This is intelligent, innovative AND above all hilarious.
