Throwing Shade

I've been listening to their podcasts for several years. It's always enjoyable and funny. Generally their political information doesn't break any new ground. It's usually stuff I've already heard somewhere else first. But in any case I think they are informative and can shed some insight on topics that sometimes get brushed over.

The Throwing Shade t.v. show features some skits that sometimes work and sometimes don't. But I appreciate them in any case. There really isn't very much of this type of comedy being done, particularly on television.

Don't trust the score. This program is clearly being trolled because it has a particular audience. As far as it being false news that couldn't be farther then the truth. There is enough going on out there in the news that there sure is no need to be faking the news. Particularly by this pair who've got a reputation to preserve. Yes they are comics but this isn't propaganda. It's mostly preaching to the choir.

Bryan and Erin do an excellent job of representing minorities in their fight for equal rights and against the bigotry and hate that's so rampant right now. Clearly, that bigotry and hate seeped over to IMDb (because apparently, no place on the internet is sacred) (not that IMDb was sacred to being with, but still) and the trolls are out in full force. As soon as the word 'fake news' comes out in a review, I immediately see a Trumpett drowning in a sea of MAGA hats. It would be great if instead of one-star bombing an excellent show, they could point out the so called 'fake news' points and leave a constructive review.

Then again, when have Trumpetters ever done anything constructive?

I sincerely hope this show stays on the air because these two provide a much-needed voice in television!

I lean left. The trump era is ripe for comedy. It writes itself. This show does not take advantage of that. It's too preachy. Too self-absorbed. Too agenda oriented. I enjoy Colbert, Jon Stewart, SNL and all the other shows that take prez cheeto to task, but this show? This show simply sucks.

Horrible, and unfunny. The show is nothing more than a pathetic attempt at slanted, left-wing humor, and they have failed badly. Half the statements are false, and the other half is just not funny at all. Added to the uncomfortably cringe-worthy vibe are the two hosts, who reminded me of a couple of middle-aged adults trying way too hard to be cool, and fit in with the "in crowd". Hopefully this pathetic fiasco will get the boot soon. Just garbage.

The show just isn't funny. The idea that a 30 something very gay man is always cute and a 40 something year old matronly, single, and preachy woman is funny just doesn't fly here. Together the chemistry doesn't work, she is annoying, loud and often wrong. He is simply not funny and not overly intelligent. The old sitcom Dharma and Greg about a straight Jewish woman and a gay lawyer was well done, funny, and the chemistry worked. People liked it because they were easy to love both apart and together. To make this combination work in a comedy "talk show", there has to be a good balance of chemistry but also requires an openness by the cast to accept criticism and be open minded to the audiences difference of opinion. Being loud and stereotypical can work but not here. They don't work. Really hard to watch and hopefully people won't have to much longer.
