Democrat? Republican? Conservative?

Conservative, Republican, Democrat conspiracy??

All this is irrelevant, because when it comes down to it, Colin Quinn is just NOT funny (and never was). I have yet to meet one person who can honestly say they like Colin Quinn (and this includes Republicans, Democrats, and members of just about every other political affiliation).

My personal political beliefs aside, I have always hated Colin Quinn and I am glad his show has been cancelled. While Comedy Central does not always have the best shows, I think that any show on that channel should at least contain SOME comedy. Tough Crowd didn't have any. Tough Crowd was just a bunch of brain dead idiots rambling on about things they didn't understand.

AMEN!

Preach it brotha!

But, I would say the show was occasionally funny and occasionally had more intelligent discussion. However, this was almost always when the guests were not the regulars, or included more prominent comedians (e.g. Dave Atell, Sarah Silverman, Graham Norton, etc.)

So overall, the show was still *beep*

I think Colin Quinn is only mediocre when it comes to comedy, but the show itself was hilarious, especially with the right panelists (the best were probably Nick DiPaolo and Jim Norton). The only thing I didn't like is that they talked over each other a lot, and so you couldn't really hear what was going down.

Colin Quinn is one of my all-time favorite comedians. He's brilliant.

you really find stuttering people that funny? I guess I just don't get the appeal of retards with speech impediments.

I like Colin Quinn, but this show looked like a blander version of Bill Maher's show, only with mediocre guests and no direction whatsoever in the conversation.

At least the professional comedians on Colin Quinn were funny.

Ah, yes, nothing like the comedic genius that is the repartee,"Shut up, STUPID" as used by Quinn or Norton. How do they do it?

THey weren't funny enough to hold onto an audience, it seems. How were the ratings?

Maher is a liberal? Only to people who people who don't know what a liberal is.

Quinn's show wasn't even remotely funny. Personally, I don't care for either one.

I'm a liberal and I really liked Quinn on SNL. I was also a big fan of Politically Incorrect. When this show came on, I wanted to like it. I even enjoyed a few episodes. But Colin was always going on about "black this... black that". Anytime anything with a black person made the news, he made it into a topic for his show. It was the same note over and over again. I could have forgave the sloppiness of the show if it were funny, but it was just one big rant. I went to the messageboard for the show on comedycentral.com, and it was page after page of racist threads.

It wasn't comedy central's fault the show was canceled; conservative or not, it just wasn't funny. I disagree with the politics of South Park all the time, but I still watch it and enjoy it because it's funny.

Well, that's my rant.
