We Interrupt this Program is a reasonably solid attempt at sketch comedy and good on 7 for giving it a run. Skits are hit and miss but the pace is good and production Values are high. Maybe tweak the writing staff but I hope they hang in there and give this time to build an audience.

Nice idea but it is dreadful. Too long and simply not funny. What a waste of time and talent.
