I like Russell Brand, but this show doesn't work at all. But before i get into te show, it was doomed from the start. By putting it on after sitcoms probably made people turn it off.

The problem with the show is that it's all over the place. It's part stand up, audience participation, strange nerdy white guy just sitting on stage. I think the show sould've been more of a talk format. Maybe bringing in a guest each episode. The show is also a little too intellectual. You don't associate Russell Brand with big concepts. And for that reason the show will fail. His fans don't want that and smarter people won't watch because of Brand.

I think the producers are milling the internet looking for ideas. This week they totally did the whole guest thing and yet again it failed. Russel was too interested in putting words into Kurt Sutter's mouth. Kurt also took a shot at Russel for being so "scholarly."

The best spot for this show would have been swapped with Anger Management.

It's impressive to see a man feeding off his emotions.

Is Brand X less or more scholarly than the usual mainstream TV shows we have to endure?

Oh.

Suddenly I feel like a flag whipping here there and everywhere with nowhere to settle but consequences bowing my shoulders.
