An online ad for The College Humor Show claims, "It's like the internet... but on TV." And that's the main problem with this program. College Humor is a fun site to go to waste time and watch a few videos but it's not what anyone would call "appointment television". Even with the website, it's not like people are sitting around waiting for the next College Humor sketch to drop. In order for the show to work it has to offer something more.

It doesn't. The storylines that take place between the sketches (and there were only two or three separate sketches during the show) weren't really strong/funny enough. If that's what is supposed to get people to tune in, it's going to have to get better or else people will just wait for the sketches to show up on the internet? In some cases, the sketches already are online. The best bit of the show, the rap song "Awkward", debuted on College Humor's site last August.

College humor has some great stuff on their site (the unaired 1994 pilot of 24 is a classic) but I'm not sure they have enough for a weekly show. Yeah, SNL has survived for years now with only two or three good skits per show but they have the attraction of the celebrity host and musical guest. Mad TV survived but they had some talented performers; the College Humor group are good writers but acting is definitely not their forte. I wouldn't put it past the College Humor crew to make a hilarious show but this isn't it.
