I haven’t seen any threads about Drawn Together, forgive me if there is one and I missed it. I think I’m the only person on the planet that watches it. ---

I watched it last night. ---

I watch it. I enjoyed the first season much better than the more recent offerings. I detect a faint whiff of Trying Too Hard these days. ---

I don’t watch it deliberately (yet), but I usually catch it after _The Colbert Report_ and wind up watching the whole thing. I find it a little uneven, but the good parts are _really_ good. 🙂 I just got TiVo a week ago, and I keep thinking about adding a season pass for _Drawn Together_. ---

I watch it and really enjoy it. But the network is really killing it this season by jerking it around on the schedule. ---

I watch the show pretty regularly and Lissa is right: DT is trying much to hard. Trouble is, it’s not succeeding. You have to wonder who could possibly find some of their lame and overplayed gags funny. I get the sense that the creators are just out to amuse themselves, and they don’t really care about entertaining the viewers. Plus, they are obviously in love with some characters and are indifferent to others. The favorites (esp Foxy and Woldor) get much too much airtime. Meanwhile, the B-listers (yes, I mean Ling Ling and Toots), are little more than talking furniture. The show still has potential. They just need to bring some fresh writers on board. ---

I watched one episode. Occasionally amusing, but not enough to bring me back for more. ---

I started watching last week and caught the first three episodes on YouTube. Holy shit, that show had me rolling on the floor. Far sicker and more offensive than anything I’ve seen before, although even by the end of the third episode the writers were starting to lapse into formulaic telegraphed punchlines. I’ll keep watching, but I don’t think it can hold the standard it started with. ---

Indeed, I watch it regularly. ---

I’ve seen every episode and I find this season a bit off. It seems to rely too much on grossout and not enough on true funny. Season Two was by far the best. The best episode was Foxxie vs. the Board of Education, followed closely by the Casino episode and “A Very Special Drawn Together.” Spanky Hamm is a classic cartoon character. It is great when he becomes a disinterested hostage negotiator. Season two- great stuff. Season three, stumbling. ---

I love vulgarity and nudity as much as the next guy, but I think they’re trying too hard. ---

I’ve seen the entire first season and that’s about it. I pretty much figured they’d start trying too hard after a while. It was funny but you sure have to drop your standards to enjoy it…not that I mind that, but it took the second watching before I really laughed. ---

I watched it until the pig shat in or on something for the third time. I believe that was about 5 minutes into the first episode. ---

I do not. Watched the entire first season, though. ---

I tried to watch the first season and lost interest pretty quickly. I can barely get through a couple of minutes now. ---

I watch it pretty regularly and enjoy it. They had a pretty good gag on a week or two ago that was easy to miss. Comedy Central runs semi-irritating blurbs at the bottom of the screen advertising whatever’s on later every five minutes or so, and the show made note of it by having Ling Ling saying something critical to the plotline right when they did so the blurb blocked out his subtitles. Then whoever he was talking to would say something along the lines of “what did you say? I missed that for some reason” or “I agree, Jon Stewart does have an entertaining program!” It was pretty clever. ---

My favorite of those was the final one. Ling-Ling is giving the moral to his father and his subtitles are again covered by a _Daily Show_ promo. Ling-Ling’s father replied. “You’re right, my son- there _is_ always something better coming up next.” And I loved the gag on last week’s show about not being able to obtain the rights to the _Rocky_ theme- the replacement cracked me up.
