caspian1978 Martin Short is one of the funniest people in Hollywood. Still, Primetime Glick has a lot of improvement to be made to be even closely considered a great show. Much like many of Saturday Night Lives former cast members, Martin Short was funny, but off on his own, many Martin Short films have fell short of greatness. In a football game, Martin Short is not the guy who runs in for a touchdown. He is the guy who can easily kick a field goal to earn his team (movie) a quick 3 points. Much like his movie career, the only good Martin Short films are ones where he co-stars with another comedian. Martin Short has given over 120% into Glick and is still falling short. Much of the series is funny but far from anything great.

lambiepie-2 I love the heck outa Martin Short. He's talented beyond belief so after watching this gosh-awful mess, I have to wonder -- Why?Very few comedy programs hit the satire of Late Night Television, the last being the wonderful "Larry Sanders Show" but Martin's portrayal of a slovenly, rude, disgusting interviewer Glick makes rude and obnoxious Chris Matthews of "Hardball" seem more entertaining.Maybe Martin's idea was to finally have a "hefty" man be a talk show host to ask the questions real talk show hosts skip over but to me, this particular portrayal is annoying, and very, very boring. I'm not entertained and I never laughed ONCE during any of the programs I've sat through.But, the good news is, I really like Martin Short's commercials for the A&E Channel. Now that reminds me of how talented and overlooked he really is. This doesn't.

theinvisiblemonkey I love how obnoxious Short makes Glick. I think its hilarious how these celebrities come on this show and get pretty much disrespected and sometimes ridiculed. It's great. I can't wait to buy the DVD. I like Shorts exaggerated laughs, and how he jumps up in the chair. There are so many funny things about this show, you should check yer listings to find out when it comes on.

jeremyb "Primetime Glick" may well be the funniest show on TV right now. Martin Short wears a costume that pretty much doubles his weight and he becomes "Jiminy Glick". He interviews celebrities both in studio and on location.There are parts of the show that are quite scripted, but still hilarious. For instance, the 4-5 minute interview with Nathan Lane, who has had a stellar stage and film career, consisted mostly of conversations about the NyQuil commercial Lane did in the mid-80's, and what it was like to work that "old drunk actor with the three parts, the names and the initial" (George C. Scott). In this exchange it was obvious that Lane had no idea what the questions would be, and the laughter of Lane's was infectious.The vocal inflections that "Glick" uses are funny enough to carry the show, but the exchanges with the guests during the interview, and the sheer ridiculousness of the questions carry it over the top.The show always begins with a monologue, or sorts, in which Jiminy offers his thoughts of the day, usually something to do with tabloid journalists. It always ends with the in-studio guest and Glick in the sauna. Both are funny. Sprinkled throughout the show, as bumpers to the commercials, are parody spots that are a little hit and miss sometimes. My two favorite so far are Tommy Lee Jones starring in a movie where he becomes the new Pope. Imagine Jones' MIB role as the pontiff. Short, as Conan O'Brien, walking the Walk of Fame advocating a star be awarded to "The Guy With The Mustache from Cheers" (John Ratzenberg) is another good one.To me, this is a Must-See show. Watch it, you'll love it !
