Daisy Does America

I had to post this comment in stark disagreement with the negative comment posted. I think "Daisy Does America" is hilarious, and Daisy Donovan delivers a smart and witty performance. If you enjoy watching the correspondent bits in The Daily Show with Jon Stewart where an interviewee doesn't seem to realize that the interviewer is poking fun at them, then you'll enjoy this show as well. Daisy does much the same thing in a different context. However, whereas the Daily Show heavily edits their interviews to make them funnier, Daisy pokes the same fun at herself and the people she meets in a seemingly improvisational way.

I have to admit that the previews for the show didn't have me too excited, but once I gave the show a chance I found myself laughing the whole time. Daisy Donovan has been comedy gold in the UK for years, and she delivers just as well in this new show (not to mention that she made FHM's top 100 sexiest women three times which makes for comedy with a pretty face). Fans of British comedy will especially enjoy this show.

I'm not one to complain about TV shows, esp when I have the option of simply changing the channel but this show is absolutely the worst show ever made.

All this show does is play on the stupidity of Americans, they take ordinary (or somewhat eccentric) Americans and put them in awkward and uncomfortable situations while at the same time completely slandering and embarrassing them. Daisy, the "host" of this "show" is completely useless and is more embarrassing to the UK than anything...

Mark these very words you are reading, this show WILL be cancelled by the season's end - it's terrible. Patriot or not, it pains me to even have to watch a commercial for this horrible "comedy" - the only thing Courtney Cox did right was sign on with friends, after that, it's all been downhill.

Horrible, horrible show. WORST EPISODES EVER (simpsons fans you know what i'm talking about).

PS - shaking someone's hand for extended period of time...I mean, HOW IS THAT FUNNY??? Not that TBS is known for winners or anything...

If the Arquettes thought this show would appeal to the general public, then it's obvious they are completely out of touch. There is nothing funny or clever about ridiculing country folks or inner city kids for a cheap laugh. Daisy exploits these peoples' good nature as they welcome her into their communities to help Daisy achieve her bogus American "dream."

Daisy (and her producers) say that she's not afraid to embarrass herself, when it's obvious from watching the show that she is trying to make her guests look stupid with her attempted behind-the-back sarcasm and ridicule. Nevertheless, the Arquettes, Daisy, and TBS are the only ones being humiliated.

That being said, Daisy is just not very funny either: shaking some guys hand for five minutes, bugging her eyes at the camera, and running around like a lost child. None of that is original or very funny. Her dry attempt at slapstick humor would make the Three Stooges (and Benny Hill) cringe.

Maybe Daisy would be funny in another setting, but the whole premise of this show is offensive and definitely NOT funny.

Absolutely speechless. What can be said about a show like this? Nothing comes to mind, I just sit in "aw" and ponder how easy it is to get a pilot passed these days. A failed attempt at humour and most definitely a soon to fail pilot.

I can't begin to express the pointlessness and mindless banter that Daisy talks about. "Who, Who, Who let the dogs out?" I'm sorry, I missed the part where we're supposed to laugh. As awkward as this sounds, the shows puns are without pun. Watching her show is like listening to Lil' john rap, you get all hyped from the beat, but then you realise that all he says is "yyyeeaahhh", "hokaaayy" and " WHHAATT!". One step away from the infamous Paris Hilton - The Simple Life, only without eye candy. Tough break Daisy, I hope you didn't quit your day job.

After seeing endless commercials on TBS for this show I'd imagined that it would be terrible. I wasn't disappointed. After watching the first episode (only because it followed Sex and the City) I can truly say that it was worse than terrible. Quite possibly the worse TV show I've ever seen. It would be a shock if this show makes it into the New Year.

Blaming Daisy herself wouldn't be entirely fair. While she does have talent she seems like a fish out of water on American television. The shows creators : Courtenay Cox and David Arquette should be ashamed of themselves for bringing us this schlock. I would hope that TBS sees this show for what it is and gets rid of it ASAP.
