What the hell happened to this show? I've been watching it for 42 minutes, but only because I don't have a remote and I'm lazy. It's aboslutely horrible! How could I have ever thought this was good?

Occasionally it has been funny but mostly it just seems like an excuse to attempt to further puppet-bodily-fluid-expulsion technology.

Wanda Sykes is on it sometimes, which I suppose is a plus

I just watch the opening credits for the Fountains of Wayne theme song, the only redeeming quality

...of Fountains of Wayne, I assume.

The first season was somewhat funny. But it's stooped to gross-out humor, which threatens the point of the whole show. If the show is based on prank calls, why are we the ones watching puppets puke? DUMB.

okay, so it's not just me.. the show just turned to shit.

Totally. I mean, the whole concept of the show was based on random conversations. It was about dialogue. Not it's based on visuals of snot streaming from a puppet. Are you kidding me? How could they dumb it down anymore. How could they think that's remotely smart or funny? Do you think anyone finds this amusing or cutting-edge? I wonder. I guess the same people who watch Fear Factor find it funny...who knows. Honestly, I've thought about writing an angry letter, only because it insults my intelligence to be inundated with images of a vomit machine while watching the Daily Show. And believe me, there is very little that insults my intelligence. I watched My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance for chrissakes.

beat me to it, this is what i was going to say:

Always thought it was painfully unfunny except a few of the things here and there. I mean, this shit is like Mad magazine (and sketch show) and the Jerky Boys - aimed at kids in their early teens and the borderline retarded.

.of Fountains of Wayne, I assume

that HURTS!

Wow, I didn't think it was possible that something could happen to increase my already intense distaste for Fountains of Wayne.
