Sherman's Showcase

This show is literally underrated. The ideas are so clever and relatable! The content was created with a specific cultural context in mind, which may be the reason for some of the mediocre reviews. I can't wait for season 2!

The comedy version of Soul Train...and it is hilarious!!! The songs "That Aint Right" i actually downloaded because it is too funny...and "Drop it Low fod Jesus" had me in tears. The Charade (aka Prince) ep is full of laughs...as is the Barry Gordy one too. This is raw comedy - and I love it.

Don't know why so many people hate this show. It's a straight-forward satire of Soul Train and a good one at that. It's silly and can be a little out there at times but just sit back and have fun with it. What makes this show even better is the music. I think the music is technically also satire but it's actually pretty good. The bands performances are usually over-the-top campy (on purpose) but the music is pretty solid. I would actually listen to this stuff if I could find it. Just give this show a try and try to ignore the bad reviews.

This pure genius, and I wish there was more creative efforts made like this. I described it as "R&B Spinal Tap meets the Mighty Boosh* All the other negative reviews I've read about this show come from people who just don't get it. Which is a shame.

I grew up watching Soul Train and Solid Gold, so having a show doing a straight up surreal parody of both those shows was magical. And the music. Is. LIT. The time, effort and creativity to craft songs that sound real and legit makes it that much better.

I hope that IFC gives us at least one (two?) more seasons of the mighty awesomeness.

This show is a masterpiece of comedy genius! If you grew up watching Soul Train, this show is for you! Excellent writing and acting. I love it!
