timjritter you have to be in the right frame of mind for this show. if you start watching expecting to be moved by profound insights and thrilled by the special effects then your definitely going to be disappointed. my recommendation? just sit back, relax, and watch. part of the charm of this show is the actors have to be masters of their craft to come off as such poor actors. (the camera holds on Saul's face, he is seen to look away from the camera and his face is set in his signature, slack expression)to me, thats funny. a nice contrast to the arrogance of so many other programs that take themselves so seriously. there are so many shows out there that i suspect the creators of think they are doing something important. television is not important, it is not deep, it is entertainment. and Saul of the mole men is entertainment in its purest form.i don't know why the creators of this show made it like this,obviously they weren't trying to excel at anything. but the net result is a program that because of its creativity and ability to laugh at itself i would prefer to watch over anything out there. i'm actually frustrated because i've only watched half of the season. and i hear they are not going to have a second season. that would be a tragedy.

kreniigh Sometimes a show comes along that's so different from anything else, so warped in all of its details, that it only finds a niche audience and is rejected out of hand by a lot of people who just don't get it. Invader Zim was one such show, and Saul of the Mole Men is another.The intentional low-budget cheesiness is a huge part of the show's charm and humor. It may take a while to get used to the blue-screen, computer background style, but once you get used to it, it's gorgeous -- the scenes with the fire people, and the flood scene, are amazing.The plot clips along at a fast pace, the weirdness is unrelenting, and most of all, it's not just the same old tired jokes and routines. Yeah, there's a certain level of lowbrow humor, but everything else more than makes up for it. I hope this gets released on DVD, or better yet, brought back for a new season. For everyone who says it's just stupid and that no one should like it, go back to watching Everyone Loves Raymond or something equally as tired and predictable, and leave Saul alone.

sherwojo OK....first off disregard the comment above from Abe Kwiatkowski this saying that this show isn't very good, this guy obviously does not understand the humor and writing of Josh Gardner. You see, to truly appreciate this show you need to watch a few episodes of "Gerhart Reinke's Wanderlust" which also features Josh Gardner as Gerhart. You tube it please, its ashame wanderlust did not see more than 6 absolutely hilarious episodes. The cancellation was probably due to the high production cost of traveling to different countries, but those 6 episodes are gems. However this post is not about wanderlust. Where Wanderlust left off Saul Of the Mole Men takes over. This show is REALLY REALLY low budget (but it adds to its humor) and is nothing more than hilarious (to comment on Abe Kwiatkowski post, I wish I had been high last night, because I would have sh*t my pants). But like I said before you have to be a fan of Josh Gardner's work other wise you just might not get it like my friend Abe Kwiatkowski.

diesixdie ...as long as there's something there, maybe a good script, an interesting story. This show has the tiny budget, but, but, it's just not funny. The riff seems to be on the old 70's Sid and Marty Croft live action adventures, but none of the jokes score a hit. You can see what they were _trying_ to do, but it all just falls flat.I like the idea of killing all the heroic characters, up front, and just leaving the unheroic to deal with the adventures, but the "leftovers" have to be interesting or likable, to some degree.It's obvious that Adult Swim is getting greedy and wants to see high viewership numbers on this with minimal budget, and that might be possible if there was actual cleverness or humor.Oh, well. I'm basing this on only the first episode. Maybe the show will improve.
