The new episode is great!!! Keep up the great work!!!
stringtheory (17th February 2009)
should be a little longer...good clean comedy! no swears/bad words that I personally prefer. This is a good fresh breather from regular sitcoms of network TV that try to brainwash the audience as if they're the only choice of entertainment. It's always good to be open to new ideas, choices, new talents, new format, new way & approach to entertainment. Keep up the good work and good luck.

Stereotypes, bad acting, mugging, indicating, and unfunny dialogue. Is this what happens when a non talented improv team gets a forum to hang their dreck? Strike, you have shown once again that quality is not a prerequisite for your site.
This was just bad. And I sooooo wanted to be positive.
