on the topic of currently-airing new comedy shows:
i have come to the conclusion that those who don't find the humor in the Sarah Silverman Program, The Naked Trucker and T-Bones Show, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! and Saul of The Molemen just don't get it. to those people i say: more laffs for me.
Sarah Silverman: the hottest female comedian and also the only funny one (ok, i don't have anything against, say, Ellen Degeneres or Paula Poundstone, but they're old school). fuck you if you don't like her "shtick." yeah, her songs get annoying, but she's hot, so focus on that while she's singing. and the show is well-written and perfectly casted. get over your jealousy that you're not as pretty or funny as her, and begin to direct your rage at Jimmy Kimmel, who gets to sex her.
Naked Trucker and T-Bones: i am apparently one of the only three people on the planet who not only don't hate this show, but find it funny enough to watch each week and literally lol quite consistently. maybe it's people mistaking it for another Blue Collar. it's not. are the characters white trashy? yes. is that reflective of their target audience, to which they pander with relentless catchphrases? no. i can't even figure out why people don't like this show, other than maybe just people going into it with closed minds. i like the actors and i like the way the characters are portrayed and bounce off each other. it's FUNNY, goddamnit.
Tim and Eric: i heart Tim and Eric. another thing that is hard to explain to people who just don't get it. people who claim to looooove "random" humor don't get it because they couldn't correctly define "random" if they tried. it's cohesive silliness and it's too awesome for some people to handle, i guess.
Saul of the Mole Men: ok, this isn't the pinnacle of entertainment, but i happen to love the guy who plays Saul (Gerhard Reinke's Wanderlust, anyone?). he is absolutely the best part about the show. and it's high time someone did a real parody of the Krofft shit. i think the fact that there's a storyline helps a lot and makes me want to keep watching, even if some of the jokes last time fell flat. the jokes that do work are memorable and hold up for me.
there's my take. fuck you if you don't agree. i take my comedy very seriously and i'm sick of people worshipping shit like Robot Chicken or Dane Cook or whatever and then whining when someone who actually IS funny gets a successful break. it doesn't matter if you cry about not liking their show, they care if their dvd sells later on. and it will. to me.

in other words, i haven't seen any of these shows. i think i would like them. but i have to admit, i was watching a Robot Chicken dvd last night...
Sarah Silverman rules as well...you said everything I would have, so I'll leave it at that.
As for the other two shows, I haven't given either one a chance. I haven't liked the other shows Tim and Eric did, and Saul just looks awful from the commercials. If Cartoon Network produced more quality programs, I might've given them a chance already, but with some of the crap on there I'm always hesitant to check out new shows. They do, however, have some of my favorites like Moral Orel, Metalocalypse, ATHF, Venture Bros., plus the reruns of Futurama and Family Guy. And I love Robot Chicken, but that's because I'm far too familiar with most of the stuff they make fun of. They're not always hilarious, but I do enjoy most of it. Anyways, I may give each of those shows a chance now, since you've proved to be right on so many other things.
