Am I Missing Something?

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This is one of thee worst shows ever made in the history of television and no I am not exaggerating. Martin Short has never been funny in any movie, TV show, TV special, nothing! His gay character Jiminy Glick doesn't only have an annoying name an voice, he is also irritating and completely unfunny. Michael McKean, David Herman, Craig Anton, Mo Collins and Jerry Minor were waaaaaaaay to good for this show and deserved better then to settle for this jackass festival. I couldn't stand it when I saw Jiminy Glick guest star on Mad TV. I was so happy when I heard they canceled this garbage show. I'm still upset that Comedy Central shows the re-runs. They even had a movie about this jackass. Kill this character permanently!

Primetime Glick is one of those shows that you look forward to all week.
From Adrian's opening line "Am I the only one who needs a Glick fix?" the show never ceases to keep me in stitches.Martin Short is excellent at keeping the laughs coming a mile-a-minute. The wacky character of Jiminy never allows for the celebrity interviews to slow down or get dull, and the celebrities "play along" very well, although they often have to hold back from breaking into hysterics.One of my favorite parts of the show, which no one has mentioned so far is "Jiminy's home movies" where we see "home movies" from Jiminy's personal life, usually involving his relationship with Dixie, his alcoholic and clinically depressed wife.It's a brilliant show, from beginning to end, and I hope it lasts for many seasons.

I have seen a lot of TV shows in my life, and it is safe to say that in my opinion, Primetime Glick is the funniest show ever! Martin Short is hysterical as the Fat,very delightful Jiminy Glick. the interviews he has with current celebrities are also extremely funny, my personal favorite was his interview with Regis Philbin. I hope this show lasts for a long time.

I cannot believe that Comedy Central is so desperate it needs this show. I "wanted" to like Martin Short as Glick (the main character), but his humor is so obvious - it's an insult.The premise of the show is a camp guy in a fat suit. This may hold your attention for a skit, and may even raise a smile, but a whole series? Maybe some senior citizens find the idea of a camp guy on TV quite funny. Or perhaps kids will split their sides at an obese guy. Well, they can have it.Short plays a chat show host who insults his guests by not listening. And that's about it. Maybe, if the guests were really uncomfortable, or if Short were to ask some awkward questions, it would have some comic value. The guests try to have fun with it, but it just falls flat. In most cases the guests are funnier, and add more to the show than Short himself (after all, they are playing themselves, and are pretending to be "insulted" at the same time).I assume the guests participate out of pity or respect for Short. But if you have that many great talents on your show (Steve Martin, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Maher, Conan O'Brien, etc.), and you fail to raise a laugh, it's time to pull the plug.
