    Michael Moore should take notes!

    The most entertaining part of this show is Wanda's reporting segment. These bits are both as funny and as biting as anything Michael Moore did on "TV Nation" or "The Awful Truth". He must be kicking himself for not coming up with what Wanda did in the first episode's gun control story.

    Let's hope Fox doesn't catch on and start dumbing down and toning down this show. It's a welcome relief from all the "reality TV" crap.

    An absolute riot!

    I only recently "discovered" Wanda while watching "Inside the NFL" on HBO. I was disappointed on the weeks she didn't have a segment because her wit is so sarcastic and hilarious, that, in my opinion, it made the whole show. When I found out she was starring in her own sitcom, I was thrilled. I also was NOT disappointed.

    I watched the pilot this week and found myself laughing out loud all the way through it. I really hope it does well and continues for a long time. It certainly made my week. WATCH THIS SHOW!

    Sykes Was Funny, the Other Writers Awful

    Basically the show was an excuse for her stand up. The TV segments within the show are funny. The rest of the show, from good to truly awful.

    The show's plots were typical sitcom idiocy, either too bland or irritating to work well for Sykes. On top of that, many shows were centered around guys she was dating. But Sykes being gay was as obvious as it was for Ellen, and hiding that hurt the show.

    See her stand up specials instead. She's hilarious.

    A Great TV Start for Wanda

    I first saw Wanda on "Comedy Central Presents...", then in a great performance in the movie Down To Earth. I thought she was absolutely the funniest comedian I had ever heard. She has quick wit and offers great views on life, race, and age. Though she is on Inside the NFL and Crank Yankers on Comedy Central, this is her first starring role, and it's a great role. For anyone who is board of the same old shows, turn to Fox and watch Wanda!

    Needs Time To Grow

    I love Wanda! There is no doubt that she is very very funny! I watched her on comedy central a lot and she was amazing and so funny, so I was very excited when I heard that she was getting her own show!

    But her show is indeed "Wanda". It is the real deal, but It seems very watered down, possibly censored. Normally there is 2 or 3 VERY GOOD laughs in each episode that keep me coming back for the first season and I think that the supporting players need time to grow. They just fall in the background as of now.

    So the second season should be something to look forward to!!!
