NTSF:SD:SUV

Okay if you want "serious" then go watch Bones/CSI/NCIS/etc, however as a couple of the reviewers haven't really sussed out, then I will point out that this is a complete mickey take of those shows!

The clichéd lines, the impossible way that crimes are solved using "Real" science, and the fact that the scientific people are drop dead gorgeous, but "no-one sees it" are all are up for attack in this series.

The actors seem to enjoy themselves, and ham up their parts more than Porky Pig, which adds to the fun.

It's not an inditement into Modern Criminology, nor is it meant to be an in-depth study of characters and their actions, but it is a great spoof on the shows which try to pretend they are, and as a bonus you should really listen to what S.A.M. says.

I do not claim to be an expert in csi type shows or cop shows but one thing I can assure you is that the amount of gags in this show are so sarcastic and idiotic that it is by far the most surreal wana be reality show I have ever seen.

You know how people quoted Borat for years and years...? Well this show has lines that top Borat's best! I don't even like Paul Scheer, I have seen many of his old works, from "The League" to "Human Giant" and even his guest appearance on "Party Down" I have always found him the least interesting character in each show, yet, he as seriously surprised me in how perfect he ended up being for NTSF SD SUV!!

If you can enjoy ridiculous infantile post-modern humour than this show is for you. Give it a few episodes to get into, some people's gut instinct is to reject the silliness but trust me its worth watching more and getting into the mind frame of Trent!

Ps: Another great thing I personally have found about the show is that when you watch it sober it is hilarious but if you watch it drunk it it takes on this much more dramatic tone!! I can watch the same episode twice in a different frame of mind and interpret the episode differently. Like I said this show is something special, it's the Shakespeare of the ADD generation.

I love this show.

Crime dramas like CSI and NCIS have been ripe for parody for a long time, and this show is absolutely spot-on.

In San Diego, a crack team of law enforcers fight crime using excessive force, absurd scientific equipment, and a garage full of expensive SUVs.

The characters are all totally clichéd, from the gun-toting, shades-wearing leading man (Paul Scheer) the hard-boiled and one eyed agency chief (Captain Janeway herself, Kate Mulgrew) to the geeky science tech played by Rebecca Romijn - that's right, I said Rebecca Romijn!!! There's nothing subtle about the humour here, it's all pretty purile and ridiculous, but it's well written and delivered with deadly seriousness by all the cast.

If you enjoy the likes of Archer or Sealab, this is probably for you...

If you are reading this or are looking up this show then you probably have a dry sense of humor. This show is perfect for people who like pun jokes and dry, sometimes stupid jokes. I myself find this show to be very funny. Like most adult swim comedies this show provides a ton of nonsense and fabulous jokes weaving in ridiculous plot lines. The cast couldn't get any better either. I had to write this review after reading one that someone else wrote. He/she had given it only 1 star. Now I don't believe that people who don't like this type of humor should even be watching this show, so why are you writing a review? If you know the actors, you know what you are getting into. Also it was created off of the spoof commercial from Children's Hospital, so you know the direction they are headed. This show is meant to be stupid and fun and it is.

In an age where satire thrives in such forms as The Colbert Report and The Onion, I had great hopes for this show. Discovering an all-star (even if they are B-list) cast only elevated that expectation. But, as was already insightfully observed by another reviewer, this is more like a bad youtube sketch than good comedy.

Satire doesn't work without an understanding by the writer of the subject to be parodied. Referencing certain clichés isn't the same thing. Throwing in behavior that is completely inappropriate for the subject, like agents shooting anything that moves, takes this completely out of the realm of satire and lands it squarely in the domain of mindless comedy like Jackass and Fox News.

The great irony here, perhaps providing the only real comedy in the entire production, is that creator Paul Scheer is also the host of the popular podcast, "How Did This Get Made?" Paul, it's a good thing you're the host of that show, as that's the only insurance you have to keep this show off of that one.

Seriously, this makes Scary Movie look like Young Frankenstein.

Again, as another reviewer put it, the only funny thing here is the title. From there the jokes proceed swiftly downhill.
