    Finally -- a funny bowling show!

    Thank God someone finally spoofed the world of small-time bowling! This show is great -- the running commentary by Chopper and Wally is hysterical and where do they get these contestants? If you ever want to spend a half hour listening to hilarious chatter, tune in to this show. I wish there were more shows like it. Sign me up for an alley and give this Tim Scott guy more shows!

    Genius

    I disagree with those who bash Let's Bowl. That show, though it ran only for one season, will forever rank as one of my favorite things...EVER! It was such a mockery! Wally and Chopper were hilarious hosts and what was up with that pig anyway? Ridiculous, one of the funniest things on TV. Watching Insomniac and Let's Bowl back-to-back was bliss. If any of you are into that Extreme Japanese Challenge thing that Spike TV plays, you'll LOVE Let's Bowl. May it rest in peace (alongside Sifl & Olly and The State).

    dark and edgy, and still funny

    A wholesome bowling competition with themes of sausage and polka music serves as a front for a very strange comedy show.

    Wally Hotvedt is a man broken by failed relationships, and he finds creative and disgusting ways to spiral into depression.

    Chopper is his announcing partner, who is well-loved, friendly, but often cruel when it comes to taking advantage of people.

    The Queen Pins--unlike their showgirl counterparts on other game shows such as the famous Barker's Beauties on the Price is Right--take to taunting the contestants rather than encouraging them.

    Ernie Jansen is the straight man of the group, leading the music section which includes a rotating cast of oddball acts such as Manplanet and the World's Most Dangerous Polka Band.

    The skits are always humorously disturbing, and not just shocking for the sake of stirring up controversy (like many FOX programs). Of course, with a show that skews reality like this some people will just be confused.

    Something funny on Comedy Central?

    Man, finally something that is actually funny and engaging.

    After the horrifying "That's My Bush!" and absolutely boring "Chris Wylde Show", I had assumed that CC exec's must have sniffed enough glue to stick every midget in existence to I-beams.

    Now, this isn't the best show ever. I just dig the cheesy-ass production and "prizes".

    Groundbreakingly hilarious

    Over the last two decades, there have basically been 4 comedies that truly redefined the genre. One was The Simpsons. One was Mystery Science Theater 3000. One was Mr. Show with Bob and David. This is the forth.

    No show has ever teased the reality/competitive genre like this show while, in the process, bringing a cheesy nostalgic aspect and a cutting edge comedic wit. Creator Tim Scott is a former Mystery Science Theater staffer who has certainly continued the tradition begun by Joel Hodgson. This show represents everything that television could be and should be.

    Oh yeah, and bowling is just cool.
