Admirable film.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

What a tragic waste when this show was cancelled. I could not agree more with reviewer "peddlerofbls." Colin has such a sharp mind, and had such self-confidence that he chose truly bright and funny people like Judy Gold, Patrice O'Neal, and Greg Giraldo, who did not toady to him by any means, but added their own super-acute two cents while commenting on issues of the day.The fact that Comedy Central took him off and yet keeps such infantile rubbish as South Park and Dave Chappelle is so maddening. Sure, Colbert Report and Daily Show are pretty good in their own ways, but they are not the feast for real intellectuals that Colin Quinn's Tough Crowd was.Comedy Central cannot begin to be taken as "cutting edge" when it sidelines truly edgy fare as Tough Crowd and panders to middle-of-the-roaders who kid themselves they are witty because they watch Jon Stewart smirk nightly.The old saying "cream rises to the top" is completely false. In TV, including Comedy Central, "mediocrity rises to the top." Quelle dommage.BRING BACK TOUGH CROWD, you cretins at C. C.!!!!

It was hard living in Staten Island, New York after 911. It was so depressing for me and family and friends. We were burnt out because of it. If I did not watch comedy central - Colin Quinn, Nick DePaolo and the gang, I don't know where I would be. I was so sick after 911, and a little laugh at night with Colin was what I needed after watching Fox news all day. Please don't knock down comedy. It really helps depression and helps you live longer to laugh out loud. Surveys say if you watch comedy, your good cells destroy bad ones and you live longer and healthier. I guess a dose of comedy a day keeps the doctor away. No kidding. I wish the regulars from tough crowd would go on tour. I know a lot of people who would go see them. Just like Jeff Foxworthy and his crew tour. Also some people just don't get political comedy or have the common sense you need for it, and that is why they cannot connect to this show.

America is the land of milk and honey.I have to say that I love late night TV. 2000 years from now, our ancestors will be looking at Jon Stewart and Conan the same way kids learn about Socrates or Plato. I usually watch Stewart, then Leno's Monologue, then Letterman's guests, then Conan, then I fall asleep after he stops rambling (which everyone knows is the best part anyway).So I would like to declare that I have made a schedule change. Goodbye Leno, hello Tough Crowd. If Pat Cooper has an IMDb account, I want him to know that he is the funniest one there.

Colin Quinn is held as either one of the best or one of the worst hosts in SNLs Weekend Update history. I liked him in it and like him on this show too. Colin heads up a group of four other comedians who debate or agree with each other on current events. Most of the time it's a funny show despite hitting the occasional speed bump. The comedians rip on each other as much as they talk about the topic at hand which end up pretty funny.
