Fairview

I tried, I really tried to get into this but it's just 20 minutes of rapid-fire yelling constantly trying to pack as many jokes into every line as possible but NONE of them are funny.... not even the 500 jokes about pooping on people.

Seriously why is every character constantly shouting and talking as fast as possible? I actually had a lot of trouble even determining what was supposed to be going on in the garbage script because it was so hard to even tell what everyone was saying or what was happening.

The whole thing feels like it was some summer DIY project from a couple of middle schoolers trying SO hard to be funny.

Longest 20 minutes of my life.

I am beyond sick and tired of what Comedy Central has become....

I've been watching the network off n' on since the mid '90s, and it's never going to be what it used to be. It had an arsenal of 'funny' original programming and Stand-up comedy for days.

This? What is this? What is this supposed to be?

Socio-political obnoxious comedy?

A dumpster fire of jokes?

Death? Is this what dying is like?

You mean to tell me, that an actual production crew at an actual studio got paid to produce this?

4 reasons to 'cut the cord' to CC:

1. They greenlight stuff like this.

2. Their schedule consists primarily of constant re-runs of South Park and non-original programming (The Cleveland Show, The Office, Friends?).

3. They recently started doing that extended time slot thing (35mins instead of 30) that other "re-run" networks are doing, so that they can spew 15+mins of adverts per show. Not to mention the overlapping credits and intro of separate episodes, sped-up playback and cutting scenes to make it shorter. You're literally paying to watch more, more, and more adverts. Seriously??

4. They purposely lower the broadcast volume level of their programming, so that you have to turn up "your" volume considerably higher than other networks. That way, when the adverts come on, their volume is then brought back to a 'normal' level and your volume is now loud enough to wake the dead. This is an illegal tactic, to raise the volume level of adverts above normal, but they seem to have found a sneaky way around it.

I mean, who doesn't want to hear ads for car insurance and psoriatic arthritis and depression meds blasting through their TV speakers or surround sound?

I only tune in from time to time because of free streaming websites, because I MOST DEFINITELY would never pay for trash like this. I don't need or want high quality viewing for re-runs and Geico adverts.

To be honest, I really wanted to like this show or maybe even tolerate it. But Comedy Central's new cartoon, Fairview really insulted me. How am I insulted you may ask? Well isn't it obvious? It's not funny, the art style is strange and not in a good way, and the characters are bland, annoying and unlikable. Just watched the first episode of the show last night and I find it an absolute mess. Who would ever thought that it was a smart idea for Comedy Central to greenlight this? Fairview is trying so damn hard to be like South Park but it failed miserably. Unlike Fairview, South Park has talent, it has subtlety, it has charm and what does Fairview have? Nothing. This has got to be one of the worst cartoons Comedy Central has ever produced and I hope it gets canceled after one season. Let's just hope Jodie (a spin-off of MTV's Daria) airs on Comedy Central and see if that show will give us plenty of great laughs and charm...which I believe it will. I give Fairview a 2.1/10.

I don't write a lot of reviews here, but this show is just SO incredibly bad, I needed to warn my fellow IMDbers.

It's usually the case that a new show or movie plucks it's best (funniest, scariest, most thrilling) lines and scenes and turns them into commercials and trailers. We all know the disappointment of realizing that we'd already seen the best it had to offer in the commercials and trailers, and that the rest of the minutes were just OK, or even bad. Having seen commercials for Fairview on Comedy Central over the last couple of weeks, I was confused, to say the least. If the very UNfunny, nonsensical so-called jokes, short scenes, and the narrator's descriptions were the best of the premiere episode, how much worse could the rest of the show be?

Somehow... it managed to be much, MUCH worse. It's so bad that I am simply at a loss to understand how anyone put any effort into making this garbage, much less decided to put it on the air. Nothing- and I mean NOTHING- about it was funny. Not the plot, the subplot, the scenes, the characters, the lines. It's like there was some kind of weird bet or contest to see who could come up with the LEAST funny 22 minutes of animation, and this was the result. I'm very pro-labor, but whoever is responsible for this deserves to be fired.

According to IMDb, there is one episode of this show. That's one too many.

I guess if you have all the characters yelling all their lines and add canned laughter people will think it's funny. I tried to give this a shot and unlike others watched the entire episode; shame on me it just got worse and ended up with a headache.
