Crowdtap -- Totally Biased Premiere Party

Or lordy, where do I start with this?  I was given an opportunity through crowdtap to host a party for 'Totally Biased"  A comedy series featuring W. Kamau Bell.  The series airs on FX at 11pm est.  Though when I looked on our schedule (Colorado) it was at 12am, if I'm not mistaken.

First of all due to the time in which this aired, we ended up DVRing the program and watching it a couple nights later.  What on earth did we all do before the DVR was created?

It was a small gathering, just four of us. Instead of doing any snacks during the show, we just all ate dinner prior (fajitas, YUM)  And then sat down to watch once I got the kids in bed.

Across the board, none of us were that impressed.  I honestly only recall two spots where anyone really laughed.  There may have been a few chuckles thrown in here and there, but nothing significant.

We generally found it respectable when Bell was doing the temple skit.  I half expected him to be really crass about the whole situation.  But he wasn't....and in the end said that NONE of the people used in the skit deserved to be shot.  "Except maybe the sith."  Ok, the Sith isn't a real person, so I can tolerate that.   

The other notable skit was the frisking, for NY 'Stop and frisk' policy.  Some of the people's responses were chuckle worthy. (It'd be ok if the cop was hot and a female....unless you lean the other way, then hot and male is acceptable.)   The part that had a few of us really laughing was how to make the frisks more entertaining.  Basically putting random things in your pants pocket. Sprinkles, chocolate syrup, oatmeal, magicians scarf, etc....

At the end of the program Chris Rock came out for a little chat.  We all like Chris, but didn't find most of this all that funny.  It just seemed like they were just having a normal conversation.

My husband was the one who got the most laughs, along with my father.  My mother, I don't think cracked a smile the entire program, and I had a couple chuckles.

Overall the opinion was the show wasn't as funny and entertaining as we had hoped and expected.  So we're split as to if we will continue with the series.  Personally I think the show has some potential, but the first episode fell short, for whatever reason.
