Fairview

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.

It's just horrible... and it's not due to the limited animation style.

The writing is terrible.. just terrible. They rattle off attempt after attempt at something funny in rapid-fire, quick succession, over and over, for 20 minutes.. and NONE of it is funny. There's no time to ingest anything.. the next one liner is one line away....

Won't be watching this.

Side note... the creator has really only been responsible for the anti-trump (bad) animation series from the past couple years. Check out his IMDB profile... I guess this is him trying, and failing, to be less political?? I've found every single one of his shows to be really undeserving of airtime. (and I'm neither pro, nor anti, Trump)

Blatant South Park ripoff, right down to the music. You can tell they're trying to be edgy but not really offend at the same time, which makes for a confusing watch. The characters also yell all of their lines, guess that's supposed to substitute for an actual joke. The only thing impressive about this show is that it manages to be crazy and boring at the same time. 0 stars.

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.

I guess if you have all the characters yelling all their lines and add canned laughter people will think it's funny. I tried to give this a shot and unlike others watched the entire episode; shame on me it just got worse and ended up with a headache.
