Monkey-Plex Review: TV: The Colin Quinn Show

TV: The Colin Quinn Show 4 monkeys

NBC gave Colin a three-episode mandate to "do something different," and he certainly has. The show is fresh, funny, topical, and completely out of place next to that other NBC "Must See" mush. (Scrubs being a notable exception.) Which is too bad. I'd like to think there's a place for this show somewhere on TV, but with the way the business works (the show is doing terribly in the ratings), it's not going to be on NBC Monday nights at 9:30pm Eastern, 8:30pm Central.
So, seriously, check this one out before it's gone for good.
And support diversity of thought and opinion on television! Drop Jeff Zucker a line at NBC and let him know that you think this show deserves a place somewhere on NBC's schedule. It's probably relatively cheap to produce (a couple of writers, and Colin sitting around on a doorstep with other riffing comedians is a bunch cheaper than the 80 gazillion dollars the Peacock is paying for Friends) and would be perfect summer counter-programming. Let's have an all-original, all-Quinn summer season on NBC!

I watched all 3 episodes of the colin quinn show and it was absolutly hilarius. I loved it. Fun for the whole family. I missed colins humor when he left SNL and 3 shows was just not enough. He needs a spot on NBC.

No kidding about that whole "when was this updated?" thing. Well, guestbook, welcome to 2004 where clones of colin run amok all across the US and parts of Western Europe (they dont go to Canada for some reason or another). I trapped a couple of them myself and have them doing my vacuuming and other dry household chores as they get incredibly irritable when they get wet....uhhh...I hear one of them stirring. I gotta go warm up his bottle.
