Halfway Home

I was surprised by this show. At first i thought it would be pretty bad. But after watching it i realized that it really has potential. It is original, and funny.

Now, it isn't a masterpiece, but you get a few goods laughs out of it and it's a good time waster.

I think the actors play their characters perfectly and the camera work is OK.

Now, what i don't understand is why people would call it offensive. It hasn't really done anything offensive, and if you think so, take that stick out of your butt and enjoy something for once.

Definitely a step forward for Comedy Central. I really hope this isn't just a 1 season time filler, it has the creativity and humor to go farther than that.

A good idea for a comedy that would only work on cable. This would never fly on the networks.

There's enough wild humor here to keep people interested. It's not really offensive either. It's a good watch if your favorite show isn't on.

Breakdown;

Ken is your law enforcement type to a "T." Right down to the 'stache. And his patient cluelessness reminds one of M*A*S*H's Henry Blake.

Making the black radical type wasn't new, but making his crime internet fraud was a good change.

The arsonist with the mother complex was a bit old though.

Carly was your classic sleepwalking hippie type. Likable while annoying during her more spacey times. And are they trying to make her look sexy by giving her shorts and tube socks? If so, is it working?

The flaming gay Hispanic was not new either. And his crime being prostitution was also trite. But the character was still a gas.

And the Serendipity character, as amusing as she may be, and Octavia is doing a great job in the role, is REALLY unoriginal. How many more loudmouthed "bitch" types do we need?

So, I guess I'm saying this.

Apart from the idea, it's NOT original. But it IS funny. Good job gang, and welcome aboard.

If you like Reno 911 you'd love Halfway Home. I love this genre of comedy. Reno 911, Dog Bites Man, Halfway Home and American Body Shop are full of improv style jokes. The filming style is perfect. As for it being an offensive show, that may be your take, but if it is I assume you don't like any of these kinds of shows. Reno 911 could be considered offensive, yet it's one of the most popular shows on Comedy Central.

I hear there isn't going to be a second season and that is a horrible move. It's not a stupid, offensive show. It's hilarious. The characters are original and have their unique quirks that make each joke all the better. The un-political correctness is a commentary on our culture. The diversity of the cast and the diversity of the comedy makes this a great watch.

I love this show and really hope that they will reconsider pulling it off the air. If people watch Reno 911, I don't see why they don't watch this show.

I think there is absolutely nothing offensive about this show, and I consider it to be better than most of the junk that Comedy Central puts out. It's at a perfect time right after south park, making it an easy time to watch because you're already sitting at the television. As said before all of the characters are idiotic stereotypes, from Allan's sheltered suburban child with a problem, to C-bass' gangster personality, when in reality all he's done is commit a few minor computer crimes. This show is hilarious, it's not offensive by any means, it's not going to win any awards, but sometimes it's nice to have something light and entertaining, and this show definitely delivers on that.

This show is actually funny. I love improv comedy and these actors are really good. The whole genre of improv is great when it's done right. Great cast, a distinctive look. I don't think a lot of people get this show for what it is. It's more than just a another silly scripted program. Some of the one liners in this will put you on the floor.

C Bass interviews are hilarious. Hard to believe they just come up with this stuff. My favorite episode is Halfway camping where all these misfits go on a camp out to learn about the outdoors. It's great when these shows go out on a limb and do something original. Favorite scene; Alan at the grill in the Jobs episode.
