The 1/2 Hour News Hour TV Show - The 1/2 Hour News Hour Television Show - Yahoo! TV

...at how ridiculously stupid the show was.

I'm neither a Democrat nor a Republican, but I tend to lean more towards the right, so it was not political bias that prevented me from liking the show. The writing for the show was pretty bad, but the delivery was downright awful.

For those who haven't seen it, the intent is a "Daily Show" for conservatives. Of course the real "Daily Show," while arguably presented from a left-wing perspective, skewers the news and those in the news, regardless of political affiliation. This show, however, just seemed mean-spirited. The jokes were juvenile and the "newscasters" had all ther personality of cardboard cutouts.

My "favorite" parts were the ACLU lawyer who--gasp--defended Constitutional rights! (which is the party of small government again?) and the "whacko" who could link any event to global warming in six steps or less. One of his whacked out theories... blaming global warming for a blizzard! What a whackjob!

Apparently the writers weren't watching the news over the last couple weeks when parts of upstate New York received 100 inches of lake-effect snow BECAUSE LAKE SUPERIOR HADN'T FROZEN.

To sum up this show, imagine watching the least funny version of SNL's weekend update (you'd better be picturing Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey), then imagine that stretched out for half an hour and being presented with an unabashed political agenda. Honestly, I'll be surprised if this show runs more than three or four episodes. I wouldn't be shocked if it doesn't return next week.
