This show will go down as the most controversial show in a long time!

The American Family Association has already started a campaign against the show directed at Turner Broadcasting (parent company of Cartoon Network) and a boycott of the sponsors of last nights show.

When I saw it on the guide last night, I thought it was a cartoon so I skipped over it. Now that I've seen the preview, I thought some parts were funny so I might watch. Did anyone here watch? What did you think?

I watched it last night, and I thought it was pretty funny. With that said, I don't see this show lasting past one season.
The show reminded me of one big long Skit( Think the first Fridays Movie accept in a sketch comedy)
How much could you really take of Craig and Smokey over a season

Thanks for jogging my memory. I thought it reminded me of something else, but couldn't remember what: it's the Friday movie. I'll try to remember to watch, but it feels like I watch too many shows as it is but that's another subject.

What can I say? Adult Swim knows their audience. I bet it'll be as funny as loiter squad.

After watching the first episode it wouldn't surprise me if this show gets canceled soon. If your going to be controversial, at least be funny. This show can't even do that.

I don't have the channel, but christans feel free to create their own versions of other religions, especially the non judeo christan/islamic kind with wierd evil things not part of them. Fair is fair. The little bit I saw in a story seemed pretty funny.

Even putting the religious aspect aside, this show just plays off old racial stereotypes of Black people. That type of comedy gets old and tiring.

I laughed a couple of times but it wasnt very funny throughout. I think the skit analogy is perfect. It felt like a Key and Peele skit that went on too long and wore out its welcome.
