John Mulaney et les kids

Mulaney and the Sack Bunch Lunch holds up a mirror to our childhood nostalgia for:Sesame Street, Barney, the muppets, etc It kind of twists that desire for childhood innocence a little bit, but not so much that children couldn't have fun with it. The honesty of the children is endlessly amusing, but the setup of the bits, and the irony that Mulaney's delivery and the writing sets the show up makes it more fun for adults than it could ever be for children.

It's cute. It's charming. It makes me question the motives of the people who made shows for my childhood, and I think that's beautiful.

I have no idea what I just watched but I thoroughly enjoyed it! Colourful, fast-paced and unique. The kids are all pretty good actors and the guest stars are fun too! If you want something completely different, try this!

It'ss like if Sesame Street had an existential crisis. It's amazing, funny, and brutally honest.

I turned it on and within minutes was watching it with a feeling of disbelief. One of those shows that surprises and delights because you keep thinking, "wtf?".

There is a lot of good, smart, witty content in this mixed with over the top pure wackiness.

Essentially a contemporary version of those 70s Xmas variety specials headed by a singer or comic. I'm not really sure who this show is for, but it was pleasant and at times genuinely funny. David Byrne's duet with one of the kids was a highlight, and Andre De Shields' number was a treat as well, and hit the mark comedically. I watched it with my kids, 13 and 15, both fans of Mulaney. I'm a late Dad, so the style references were very much aimed at my age range... I remember the shows Mulaney is gently mocking quite well. My kids got the joke(s), but i think got a bit weary of it about half way through. My 13 year old said when it was over, "I think it would have been funnier if it was just John Mulaney." Well, yeah. I appreciated the gentle tone and the little surprises... your mileage may vary.
