Such a frustrating disappointment

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

That audience is not me but I'm not saying that this is a bad show or whatever. My dad watches Ron James do his stand up comedy routine on Just for Laughs or whatever stand up comedy shows it is that he does and enjoys him very much (I do not, to me it just seems like a little guy talking really fast and combining big words and concepts with a 'Newfie' accent to seem funny when he's not really saying much at all). My dad doesn't like this show The Ron James Show either I should point out but my point is that there definitely would be people who this show is made for.Some of the clips on this show are really bad. Little Ronny is painful to watch and so are most of the live skits they do. The stand up is the most bearable part and probably almost half the show is stand up but as I said that has a certain audience and it is not really me. I give it a 3.

I give this show 1 out of 10. It is yet another pathetic attempt by CBC to make comedy for geezers. I recognize Ron James from countless other TV shows and programs and specials over the years and I actually remember seeing him do stand up comedy specials on TV years ago that I actually enjoyed watching. The problem is his comedy never changed and now he's super old and annoying, telling jokes you know the punchlines to, and desperately waving his arms around while loudly talking at 6000 words per minute in an effort to trick us into laughing. That is just the bad stand up comedy bits and those are actually the least objectionable parts of the show. The skits are so terrible I can't even watch. The Little Ronny cartoons are terrible and unfunny and don't even have a point, it's like somebody smoked a pound of crack and then tried to make a cartoon. I'm sure it's funny to whoever made it, but why do I want to watch a cartoon kid with a creepy old man head sit at a kitchen table and occasionally swear for two minutes with no discernible jokes? This show just plain stinks. Another loser for CBC who can't seem to shake themselves of the habit of putting really old people on TV long after they were funny at all. I'm guessing whenever they finally get rid of this show they'll just bring back Air Farce. I pretty much give up on CBC.

As an enthusiastically devoted fan of Ron James' coast-to-coast specials, I was looking forward to a continuing series with the same earthily crisp, yet lavishly elegant writing.This series reveals just how much work Ron must have devoted to his hour-long specials, and how difficult it truly must be to produce high-quality material for a weekly series.Other fans of Ron's work will remember 'Blackfly' and join me in headshakingly similar disappointment.His specials have provided me with dozens of gifts, this series, just another federally funded (unfunny) joke.

This show is horrible. Ron James is okay as a stand up comedian I guess, my dad likes him and sometimes on his stand up comedy specials he had jokes that were funny but his TV show is just horrible. The jokes are all really bad. Even the parts where he does stand up it is just awkward and not very funny, like he is just talking to fill up time because they don't have any good sketches to do. The sketches are all really bad, not funny at all. He does one thing where he plays a little kid, I guess it is supposed to just be funny visually because he is an old man playing a kid who grabs his crotch a lot etc but it just is really unfunny. This show is terrible and the CBC needs to put better shows on that younger people might find funny instead of putting the same old people on TV all the time.
