JEFF DUNHAM SHOW Canceled By Comedy Central

At first, THE JEFF DUNHAM SHOW, was one of Comedy Central's biggest hits by far, bringing in a huge audience. Then the wheels started to fall off. Critics attacked the show as wallowing in bad racial and ethnic stereotypes, while others claimed that the show just wasn't very good. Now, Comedy Central has decided to not renew the show. However, Dunham still remains under contract with the network to do specials or other projects.

If anything, the failure of the program seemed to prove the power of some critics to supposedly shame the public for enjoying a guilty pleasure if it proved anything at all. But that's too bad. I liked the show myself. It was certainly funny enough to satisfy me.

Hey, Paul. I saw Jay Tea's ... (Below threshold)
bryanD:

Hey, Paul. I saw Jay Tea's puffing of Jeff Dunham at Wizbang months ago, so, I admit, I figured I'd hate it as I would a Branson-branded PC poop sack. So I forgot about it.

Then I saw the program last week and laughed my ass off. The psychiatrist's office bit. LOL!

it reminded me of Seinfeld's funniest episode; the one in which the female student reporter assumes Jerry and George Costanza are gay. LOL

A foreshadowing: On the normally light and humorous Videogum site, Jeff Dunham's show was torn to pieces as if by pissed-off citizens of ancient Rome. Credit lavender mafia.

The 30 minute skit thing ju... (Below threshold)
GarandFan:

The 30 minute skit thing just does not work well. Some of the sketches were hilarious, others just passable. I mean just how much can you do with 'Bubba'? And Achmed's "I kill you" wears thin after about 3 minutes.
