I was channel surfing the other day and caught a few minutes of this show....is it just me...or does that orange character look like something I heard you can buy at an adult novelty store? Kind of a strange show for kids.

Ok...two questions... 1. Is Wayne Coyne the other co creator? 2. $30?! I'm not sure how family friendly this is if it's going to cost me $90 (not including the everpresent service fees) to take my girlfriend, our daughter and myself!

Caliendo comes home

Published Saturday, Jan. 21

Queen of Mean comedy

Published Thursday, Dec. 1

Making fun of people and their beliefs isn`t new in comedy and neither is the art of being an insult comic. Legendary comic Don Rickles built his career on the backs of jokes that were specifically directed, sarcastic, edgy and off-color. In the same vein as Rickles is the "Queen of Mean," Lisa Lampanelli, a comedienne to whom no topic is too far or too taboo.
