The Ron James Show

This show is just very bad. The sketches are really lame including scenes where Ron James (who is in real life about sixty years old or so) plays a little kid and another where he voices characters who are supposed to be his family in animated short sketches. I guess we are supposed to just laugh because an old man is pretending to be a kid? I don't know what they are thinking but it fails miserably this is some of the worst comedy I have seen in a while on Canadian TV. There is also a lot of stand-up comedy on the show where Ron James tells jokes, this is much better than the rest of the show (the sketches etc) but it's still only for real fans of Ron James, personally I find his comedy might work for older people like my parents but he's pretty whiny and his comedy is a bit too basic for me.

This show is horrible. Ron James is okay as a stand up comedian I guess, my dad likes him and sometimes on his stand up comedy specials he had jokes that were funny but his TV show is just horrible. The jokes are all really bad. Even the parts where he does stand up it is just awkward and not very funny, like he is just talking to fill up time because they don't have any good sketches to do. The sketches are all really bad, not funny at all. He does one thing where he plays a little kid, I guess it is supposed to just be funny visually because he is an old man playing a kid who grabs his crotch a lot etc but it just is really unfunny. This show is terrible and the CBC needs to put better shows on that younger people might find funny instead of putting the same old people on TV all the time.

The Ron James show is terrible, I'm not sure if it is still on the air but if it is they should cancel it right away. The jokes are terrible, his stand up comedy is the best thing on the show and even that is annoying with the way he waves his hands around and talks in a shrill voice using way too many words. All he does is use word play he doesn't have any real jokes. I don't know who actually likes this stupid show. The rest of the show is also all Ron James and all of it is terrible. I have to write more lines before they will let me submit this review so I will just say again I guess how much I think this show totally stinks up my TV.

I liked Ron James's stand up special but this show is so awful it hurts. One of the worst shows I have ever had the displeasure to sit through. I have seen three episodes so I feel I gave it enough of a chance, this show is just awful. I will not be giving this show another chance, it has already taken enough of my precious time away. Apparently I have to write more lines for my review to have enough lines.........so.........okay, the sketches are awful. None of them have been funny, not a single one. Also Ron James has done a good stand up special before (like I said already) but his stand up in this show is not very good either. I don't remember laughing one single time while I was watching this show, maybe not even a smile, I don't remember being entertained at all for one single minute. It is an awful show, easily as bad as Royal Canadian Air Farce.

Unfortunately this show is just not very good. I wanted to like it and I tried to like it but there was just nothing in any of the episodes I saw that made me like this show even a little bit. Some of the stand up comedy that Ron James does on the show is OK but it is very short, has nothing to do with the rest of the show which is all made up of sketches, and just makes it more obvious how completely awful and void of jokes the rest of the show is. Ron James is not a very good performer outside of doing his stand up comedy sadly and the other acting is very bad too. The writing of the sketches is terrible. The jokes are like they come straight out of a child's how-to-write-a-joke book with jokes you can see coming like a freight train.
