Some of the skits were painfully unfunny. There's potential for the show, but instead of pulling back, doing lame "celebrity" cameos, it should focus on what actually make Dunham a funny guy. That is his ability to perform on stage and interact with his creations in a live environment. Putting them into skits removes the best part of his act.

Absolutely agreed. The show had a few chuckleworthy moments, but nothing like his normal act.

And regarding his normal act, I'd officially like to say: less Sweet Daddy D and Bubba Jay, more Peanut and Walter, please. Achmed's OK. The originals are the best.

I agree. Walter and Peanut are the best. If the show focused more on them I think a lot people would have been happier, including myself.

But Achmed isn't horrible. And Bubba J's skit last night was a LOT better than Achmed's and Peanut's, sadly.
Chuck Norris drives Optimus Prime to work.

Looking for anything RiD or Car Robots. Specifically, Fire Convoy, Megatron, and the Autobot Brothers.

Agreed here, too. Which just shows how bad most of the skits were.

Oh my God an unfunnier show has never premiered, and I saw Root of all Evil with Lewis Black.

ESPECIALLY that dreadful Achmed sketch.

Hmm, I found it to be decent. Not his best stuff, but still not too bad. I liked the Achmed part myself, though it was pretty short.

I think he needs to drop the show, and just work on doing stand up. I find all his stand up funny, but the show it self I don't think i even laughed to be honest.... disappointing...

I cought an episode recently, I thought it was ok. I may watch it again.
I've always liked his Walter character.

Though is it just me, or does it seem like his ventriloquism skills are starting to wane?
