Ron Yearwood This was an average quality show for younger audiences. Kind of stupid but it was supposed to be, just silly stuff.
cheshirekat003 OK, I totally sweat this show. It is totally hilarious! I think that "The Sausage Factory" was supposed to be one of those MTV made-for-TV movies that is then spun off into a series, like "2ge+her", but instead they just skipped ever airing the movie. But, back to my point, this show is sooooooooooo funny! I especially like Gilby, played by Johnny K. Lewis, and Zack, played by Adam Brody, formerly Lucas on "Undressed" (which I miss by the way.) Everyone should watch this show. Even my friends that think they are too cool for MTV like it. It's just clever (i.e. "Sometimes I add extra Rs. Its a speech imperdiment.) It's on Saturday nights at 9 and and most days at 4:30 (right after TRL) so everyone check it out, mmmkay?
veestar614 Mtv just recently debuted "The Sausage Factory" under the name "Now What?". Thats exactly what i said. The show is inconsistantly funny but the characters are quite lovable, (Gilby makes me smile everytime.) We couldnt hope for more, but nevertheless, we should be able to hope for better.
Zoogerjon15 I thought this would be a stupid show. Something like that terrible "Undressed" show, which by the way, MTV needs to cancel. But, to my surprise, it's actually pretty cool, once I gave it a chance. It was very funny, entertaining, and it reminded me of "Undergrads"(an MTV cartoon cancelled for no reason). In conclusion, don't knock a show until you've seen it.
