What do you think of Crossballs.
I'm not totally sold on it but it is better than than Quinn. I like how they make fun of talking heads. Also anyone notice how Comedy Central has put many of the cast from the show Upright Citizens Brigade in their shows. The Daily Show and now Crossballs.

1. Did they cancel Colin Quinn
He was getting more and more annoying in his defense of all things right wing but I enjoyed most of the comics.

Crossballs was silly but amusing in a low level way. It is more interesting to see the "real" panelists and hear their statements. But some of it was funny.

2. I think Colin Quinn is only on vacation for 2 weeks.
Too bad, I think he's an asshole.

4. Colin Quinn made me change channels

Crossballs merely makes me think of another failed comedy movie...
Spaceballs.

May the Schwartz be with them.

Maybe CC will get a little smarter and make Daily Show an hour long.
They could do more "fake" stories... and more of the "news headlines"
at the front... and possibly bring on 2 guests for interviews... and
maybe others besides people with movies/books to promote.

Or maybe just another 1/2 hour of the man show... (but it's jumped
the shark already... make that "humped" the shark).

I wish CC had the money to do a series show like either Arrested Dev
or Action. Dream on.

6. They Hurt Like Hell, But A Warm Bath and a Valium Can Help!
if they don't uncross in a few minutes, however, medical attention should be sought.

The problem, however, afflicts mostly conservatives. It's a leading cause of their anger. See the term "one up there crossways"

8. Its pretty lame
It has a very limited premise and I imagine its going to get old really fast. It seems to me to be a good idea for a skit and that's about it. So far its not funny.
