Comedy Central's "Stella"
This show is a classic example of giving a show time to grow. I think it's got great potential. The show reminds of me of "The Three Stooges" or "Abbott & Costello". It's silly and stupid comedy, but it's funny at times. It needs more time.



What do you all think?

1. You're right on the money
It is like a modern version of the Three Stooges

Stupid, silly and funny - All the above

2. It's starting to grow on me.
But it's hot and humid. I might need a shower.

3. I loved it from the start.
I've always been a huge fan of surrealism.

4. To me, it is pure eclectic comedic genius.
I hope it makes it, unlike some other pretty good shows that haven't recently, such as Drawn Together.

5. i watched it on the net
without commercial interruptions it`s really really good. commercials disrupt the flow of the show.

6. I thought I would hate it, but I don't.
It's actually very, very good. They have a way of taking somewhat familiar themes in the most surreal, bizaare directions you can imagine, and it ends up being wildly funny.

One of my favorite subtle jokes is the way they use time. In one episode, two of the guys run off and move in with girlfriends, and two days later the third guy has two new roommates, an entirely new set of furniture, a new wardrobe, and even a new name. The only way you know it was two days later is because they go out of their way to point it out.

7. It's not Surrealism
It's just silly....

Some guys that really aren't funny alone getting together and being better together.....

Not a big fan as you may guess.....

It's like watching a half hour misty lime commercials or what ever that crappy soft drink is.......

But hey, I can't watch the stooges anymore either....
