totally biased...

i watched the premier episode of Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell tonight.  i was selected by crowdtap.com to be part of a group to watch and review the show.  overall, it was decent with a couple laugh out loud moments.  however, the heavy political edge made it a little out of my scope of knowledge and appreciation.  i'm not much into the political sphere of humor/current events.  Bell was, however, able to make the humor pretty universal and i really enjoyed what he had to say about obama.  it was rather hilarious!  i think my favorite part was him calling one of obama's titles the HNIC...just go ahead and guess what that stands for!

i thought Bell's delivery was a little lacking.  it felt like he was reading from a prompter the whole time and looked really stiff.  he messed up a bit on delivery, but that does happen from time to time.  the screen that was supposed to show visual aids was a bit off as well.  he would make the joke and then a pause would happen before the screen would catch up and show the corresponding image.

i think my favorite segment was with Rachel Maddow.  she is very funny and i enjoy her energy.  i think i might just have to take a look at her show and see if that might be a way for me to get into some political knowledge.  right now my extent goes about as far as The Daily Show.  (i <3 john="john" p="p" stewart="stewart">
anyway, i'm glad the show was 30 minutes...not too long and we were able to keep our attention on the show for that long.  i think he needs to work on his delivery and maybe broaden his scope of humor a little outside of politics.  but overall, it was decently entertaining and i think we had about three or four laugh out loud moments.
