Sherman's Showcase

I think it's a great satire about "Soul Train", which I thought was hilarious in its hey-day . . .

At first I was scratchin' my head, and then Bruce LeRoy busts through the wall! 'Nuff said...

The comedy version of Soul Train...and it is hilarious!!! The songs "That Aint Right" i actually downloaded because it is too funny...and "Drop it Low fod Jesus" had me in tears. The Charade (aka Prince) ep is full of laughs...as is the Barry Gordy one too. This is raw comedy - and I love it.

I watched and then rewatched episodes 1 and 2, both crazy, jokes I missed the first time I got on the second viewing, "Drop it Low for Jesus" and "Time Loop" are hilarious but with sick beats.

This pure genius, and I wish there was more creative efforts made like this. I described it as "R&B Spinal Tap meets the Mighty Boosh* All the other negative reviews I've read about this show come from people who just don't get it. Which is a shame.

I grew up watching Soul Train and Solid Gold, so having a show doing a straight up surreal parody of both those shows was magical. And the music. Is. LIT. The time, effort and creativity to craft songs that sound real and legit makes it that much better.

I hope that IFC gives us at least one (two?) more seasons of the mighty awesomeness.
