(NOTE: This is a slightly altered copy of my comment on the episode "Just Breve")"Breve" was a masterpiece, and a salient data point to the observation that The Sarah Silverman Program was just getting better and better.A lot of folks screamed and ranted when the show got canceled, but it seems to me that it's dying young and leaving a very, very good-looking corpse. Better that it went out with sterling "bangs" like "Just Breve" and "Wowschwitz" than that the suits started pulling funding incrementally, letting it languish.I know that Sarah will continue to find outlets for her genuine talent and ingenuity. She'll do fine.

I originally scored Sarah's show with a nice fat 8, but I've struggled a bit with her humor of late and a thin 7 is what's settled in. I shall explain.You will either like Sarah's humor, or you won't. If you don't, I doubt anyone could persuade you. You folks know who you are and it's perfectly fine, but then you know that too. Moving on, the first season gave us fantastic bits about Sarah, her friends and family, and her pursuits in life. In one memorable episode, she is "pulled over" by Officer Jay whom she meets for the first time. - "Do you know why I am standing here?" he asks. "Because you got all C's in high school?" she quizzically replies. It seemed to be a genuine question. - That is funny stuff in my book. Sarah can come at you from odd angles. In another episode, her affair with God was notably funny. God being petty and jealous added wonderfully to the joke. It is clever, it is a twisted view, but she would show us the truth in the humor and we laughed.Then, came the second season. While still not without some new and inventive comedy, we seem to have slipped somewhat into banal poop and fart jokes, quite simply. I get some good laughs here and there, but much of it seems like filler while she, and the writers, struggle to foment some original material. Sophomoric and tiresome are the feelings I have for the episodes lately, but I have been gutting it out for the gems I do find (the turtle) and waiting for her to turn it around. I was a fan of her "Jesus is Magic" routine and would like to think that I understand what she is capable of. Let's get back to that.

If you notice Sarah Silverman normally acts like a normal person when she is doing different movies. This show never really caught my eye, but last night when nothing else was on I decided to check it out. I don't see what all the fuss it about. This show is absolutely positively ridiculous and stupid at the same time. I don't see why Sarah Silverman has to address herself as a Jew like every 2 seconds, we get it by now. The whole plot to each episode really never makes sense. Why does Sarah Silverman persist to act like a 2-year-old child in every episode? Now after catching an episode I can see that I have not missed much, but I do have to say that I am unhappy that this show robbed me 20 minutes of my life. What a waste of time.

Best show since Seinfeld. She's really really funny. Her total self centeredness, the hulking gay stoner neighbors, the departures into song or cartoons, make this the freshest show on TV. One of the few shows I make point of watching. The scene with the wise old black lady in the drugstore ("oh wait now that you're close you do look old" turns face with finger and walks away lol), the cough syrup overdose, sleeping with God, it's all so funny or so stupid it's just a lot of fun. The shows weak points are her sister and the cop-only because they're too darn normal!! I really can't wait until the next show, something I haven't felt for any show in a long time.
