How Does It Know?

I was pretty skeptical about the Sarah Silverman Program when I heard about it; I’m not really a fan of her standup comedy, and really hadn’t seen much by her that I enjoyed. She had a really short stint of under-use on Saturday Night Live, if I recall correctly. But after watching a few episodes of her Program, I’ve really grown to like it. I think it is really well written, and even though sometimes I’m not really wanting a silly song in the middle of nowhere, they tend to be kept short and actually fairly funny. (For some reason, comedy in the form of a song has never struck me as that funny. It seems too contrived and thought about. I like comedy that seems like the person delivering it didn’t think about it too much, off-the-cuff, if you will. I realize most comedy I like is scripted/written, but it’s all in the packaging for me, I suppose). The bearded gay couple is great, the cop guy who was in Mr. Show is great, her sister is pretty cool. Check it out, even if you’re not a Silverman fan.
