Crap

I think its weak points are the constant bombarding with, nonetheless hilarious, 'news' and lack of actual characters. The characters themselves are nothing more than witty one-liners. It doesn't let you take a rest and after some point it becomes a little tiring. In traditional Onion style, this can't work for more than 5 minutes.

I'd say this show, if picked up, would be best suited for 6 episode seasons running at roughly 22 minutes. There's a bit too many one-liners that feel like one liners (instead of part of the natural conversation).

Their best material (aside from their articles) is their 4-5 minute long fake news reports. They're perfect at that length.

It shows promise and I'd probably add this to my watchlist if Amazon picked it up, but it's gotta be tweaked just a bit.

"No, not the mind probe!"

I found the humor to be more juvenile than the Onion itself, which is a problem. I can't remember actually laughing at all -- I smiled at a few things, but that's about it.

When you have a text format, it's easier to do humor because people can just skip to whatever article they prefer. In a sitcom, you'd better be a lot more consistent or people are going to change the channel. Not everything has to be laugh-out-loud funny, but it's gotta be better than this.

I think that maybe it could have worked. Some of it was ok. Just not enough of it.

but it has a nice rating, it can't be that bad
