Funny, When liberals complain about your programs, You tell us to change the
channel. But if its something that offends you, anyone who likes it must be dumb
or lacking IQ? Maybe its time to take your own advice.
beautifull succesfull people look down on the rest.PC- edness has not caught up
with making fun of werewolves,vampires and demons. and They have to ridicule
SOMEONE. you can still make fun of hilbillies,rednecks and fat people but George
Lopez,Enrique Englesias and Larry the Cable Guy take care of them folks so its
getting pretty hard to make fun of real life-gotta start making it up

These words
and this criticism come from a conservative newspaper. :-)
"Again... Do you actually report NEWS stories? Absolutely ridiculous."
Rich, are you speaking about Scott Pierce, the TV _CRITIC_? He's paid to give
his opinion, not report or write about the news. This is a review on a TV show.
What are you talking about?
An average IQ is 100, so a person with a double digit IQ is below that mark. If
you're going to insult a person's intelligence for their taste, at least be
accurate.
This show isn't for you. The rating on the screen at the beginning of the
episode would have told you everything this review did, but without bringing
down the rating over on Metacritic based on it not conforming to values not held
by the audiences for which the show is intended. Criticism is not about whether
you were offended. On its most basic level, it's about what a work sets out to
achieve, and whether or not it succeeds. As a review, the work on this page
fails miserably. The reviewer is unprofessional in his approach and unwilling to
get past personal bias. He makes no attempt to actually identify what the work
sets out to achieve. Obviously working with one of those double digit IQ's he
seems to prize so highly.
I aggree it's not the best show ever, but this review is unfair. Clearly this
guy just doesn't like shows that use this type of crass humor. Thats fine but
it's like someone that hates movies, writing a review of the new Halloween.
Disappointing that metacritic included this waste of time.
I could care less about the crudeness, but the jokes are lame. Just a bunch of
puns. I think people are getting fooled by the artwork, thinking that they must
be watching something funny like "Super Jail," but that show doesn't resort to
puns or pointless references, like chewing a piece of "Skin-A-Burst," or having
evil Harry Potter show up for no reason to jack with a guys elevator ride. It's
just a weak show and there isn't a whole lot there.
i happened to have animated on that show and take great offense in the fact that
you chose to straight out attack "Ugly Americans" rather than give it an actual
review. i expected better from someone working out of Utah. well...not really.
your type of close-minded, up-tight, hate-anything-that-makes-fun-of-religion
thinking is EXACTLY what i expect. grow up. you're not going to like
everything thats on tv, but you don't have to attack it.
Scott, you have no taste. What's more, this review stands as evidence that you
lack the ability to cover for your own prudish squeamishness with real criticism
of the show.... Oh, it's lame is it? How is this level of writing allowed at the
Deseret News? I don't look to opinion writers for simple up/down snap judgements
based on an inability to cope with somewhat edgy material. This review should be
viewed as an absolute embarrassment for anyone affiliated with the Deseret
News.
Ugly Americans is fantastic! Its on comedy central... were you expecting an Andy
Griffith sensibility? This is why I'm glad I live far far away from Utah.
This is the most out of touch review I have ever read. I get that the show may
not have been this guy's cup of tea, but to totally bash like this because you
don't get it or it says something you dont agree with is just being a bad
critic.

Double digits? Cool, I'll probably like it then because I'm comfortably in the triple digit lane.
Since when is Enrique Iglesias a comedian?
it's a TV show.
Scott Pierce has a right to his opinion.
Even if poorly written and inarticulate.
What a useless review. It's graphic and vulgar, so don't make your grandma watch it...
I, as the rest of the world, think it's funny and beautifully drawn.

Worse. Review. EVER!
Get some taste you jerk.

Little strange, but kind of like it.
