I turned it on and within minutes was watching it with a feeling of disbelief. One of those shows that surprises and delights because you keep thinking, "wtf?".
There is a lot of good, smart, witty content in this mixed with over the top pure wackiness.

It was very funny.
The kids seemed passionate and excited to be there.
While one or two songs didn't really hit the mark, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this.
Please give John Mullaney more money to make things please

This show did something very unique, and it executed it very well. There was a perfect blend of cute, satire, and pure comedy. It's pacing was well done, the acting was great, and it feels like the kids show that actually would be for the kids of today. The slightly cynical side of the show gives an interesting look into the youth of today, not in a condescending way, but in a way that inspires the possibility and beauty of the modern youth!
John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch is a children's musical special, which seams weird at first but after watching, I think they cooked up something magical. My first question when I heard about this was, what's the tone? Is it gonna be awkward balancing kids and adult humor, but all that was answered by the first song, which happens to be one of the catchiest things I've ever heard. It feels sweet, but also sarcastic. It would be easy to make a special like this as a sort of anti kids special. But I think with John Mulaney's seemingly boundless talent, they handled it perfectly. It's very very funny
It'ss like if Sesame Street had an existential crisis. It's amazing, funny, and brutally honest.
