Fairview

I am beyond sick and tired of what Comedy Central has become....

I've been watching the network off n' on since the mid '90s, and it's never going to be what it used to be. It had an arsenal of 'funny' original programming and Stand-up comedy for days.

This? What is this? What is this supposed to be?

Socio-political obnoxious comedy?

A dumpster fire of jokes?

Death? Is this what dying is like?

You mean to tell me, that an actual production crew at an actual studio got paid to produce this?

4 reasons to 'cut the cord' to CC:

1. They greenlight stuff like this.

2. Their schedule consists primarily of constant re-runs of South Park and non-original programming (The Cleveland Show, The Office, Friends?).

3. They recently started doing that extended time slot thing (35mins instead of 30) that other "re-run" networks are doing, so that they can spew 15+mins of adverts per show. Not to mention the overlapping credits and intro of separate episodes, sped-up playback and cutting scenes to make it shorter. You're literally paying to watch more, more, and more adverts. Seriously??

4. They purposely lower the broadcast volume level of their programming, so that you have to turn up "your" volume considerably higher than other networks. That way, when the adverts come on, their volume is then brought back to a 'normal' level and your volume is now loud enough to wake the dead. This is an illegal tactic, to raise the volume level of adverts above normal, but they seem to have found a sneaky way around it.

I mean, who doesn't want to hear ads for car insurance and psoriatic arthritis and depression meds blasting through their TV speakers or surround sound?

I only tune in from time to time because of free streaming websites, because I MOST DEFINITELY would never pay for trash like this. I don't need or want high quality viewing for re-runs and Geico adverts.

To be honest, I really wanted to like this show or maybe even tolerate it. But Comedy Central's new cartoon, Fairview really insulted me. How am I insulted you may ask? Well isn't it obvious? It's not funny, the art style is strange and not in a good way, and the characters are bland, annoying and unlikable. Just watched the first episode of the show last night and I find it an absolute mess. Who would ever thought that it was a smart idea for Comedy Central to greenlight this? Fairview is trying so damn hard to be like South Park but it failed miserably. Unlike Fairview, South Park has talent, it has subtlety, it has charm and what does Fairview have? Nothing. This has got to be one of the worst cartoons Comedy Central has ever produced and I hope it gets canceled after one season. Let's just hope Jodie (a spin-off of MTV's Daria) airs on Comedy Central and see if that show will give us plenty of great laughs and charm...which I believe it will. I give Fairview a 2.1/10.

This show is trying way to hard to be the next South Park and they do it horribly. Loud, obnoxious, purposefully over the top, unlikable characters. Transparent as a it is unwatchable. Will definitely be cancelled soon. Not for being 'to edgy' like they probably want you to think but for being to boring and unoriginal.

I don't write a lot of reviews here, but this show is just SO incredibly bad, I needed to warn my fellow IMDbers.

It's usually the case that a new show or movie plucks it's best (funniest, scariest, most thrilling) lines and scenes and turns them into commercials and trailers. We all know the disappointment of realizing that we'd already seen the best it had to offer in the commercials and trailers, and that the rest of the minutes were just OK, or even bad. Having seen commercials for Fairview on Comedy Central over the last couple of weeks, I was confused, to say the least. If the very UNfunny, nonsensical so-called jokes, short scenes, and the narrator's descriptions were the best of the premiere episode, how much worse could the rest of the show be?

Somehow... it managed to be much, MUCH worse. It's so bad that I am simply at a loss to understand how anyone put any effort into making this garbage, much less decided to put it on the air. Nothing- and I mean NOTHING- about it was funny. Not the plot, the subplot, the scenes, the characters, the lines. It's like there was some kind of weird bet or contest to see who could come up with the LEAST funny 22 minutes of animation, and this was the result. I'm very pro-labor, but whoever is responsible for this deserves to be fired.

According to IMDb, there is one episode of this show. That's one too many.

I can't imagine CC will air a 2nd episode of this. Congrats on the 1.7 out of 10 rating. Annoying characters yelling lines rapidly does not a comedy make. Whoever is involved should cash their checks and find a new line of work, you all have ZERO talent. Even our dumbed-down indoctrinated society can see through the blatant agenda being pushed here (two characters licked the TV screen because Dr. Fauci was on it BTW). I could not remove this embarrassment from my DVR fast enough.
