Here's my review not a moment too soon.

American Idol: Yeah this just fell flat. My biggest complaint was that there were
too many of the same Idol jokes. The rest of the lines came off as forced anger tones that were not funny. I absolutely hate AI, but parodies just come off as a nice smack so I try to avoid them. I was thinking of doing something where AI is actually all part of the apocalypse, but I didn�t think it would come out as good as I hoped.

Monologue: Pat, this was solid monologue. I don�t know if you put this together at the last minute but it came out quite nicely. Sure it started out a bit slow but really picked up steam with some of those Audience member comments. And of course the throw in to Mother's Day was excellent. Nice job.

The Psychiatrist: Now this was an interesting idea. JLD�s character just jumps out as this
smart but goofy girl much like Elaine. She�s being very cruel by revealing secrets but she plays it off nonchalantly I would really like to see this acted out. My only problem was the downfall towards the end. Came off as a bit predictable with the staff trying to eavesdrop, but still solid overall.

House Hunters: Jim sent this to me in advance, but still it's an nicely written sketch. Hilarious dialogue and a good throw in to the Amish people. I actually want to see Darrell act like a wild guy, it would give some more dimension these days. It was a bit long, but still came thru at the end with the realtor making up some crazy listings to show the client.

SNY Digital Short: It was unavoidable... the Seinfeld Parody. Nothing too hilarious,
but it was a nice tribute to the classic sitcom which I still watch occasionally. SNL's monologue was pretty good, but the effect would have been better if Michael Richards would have joined in the fun.

WU: I want to thank Mark for contributing 80 % of the WU. Thanks. I would plea for
more, but we had a lot more submissions the following week. Plus the season is over.

The Actress II: This was half good half bad Mark. The narrator at the beginning
could have been funny and the Robin Williams comments didn't work in my opinion. The
Actress arguing about not wanting to be nude worked. The delivery boy's lines
would have been interesting. I would definitely want to hear them aloud. The ending could have been better it was some weak lines and a reveal that the actress was Julia, could have been something different.

Boney: Another absurd character Jason, I just want to see what he would look like
because that would be worth a huge laugh. Those interview lines were pretty good, but what got me laughing the most were the baseball question and the name. Haha, Boney! Well written the pacing was excellent. Definitely a nice sketch and it reminded me of the classic Dirty Centaur Interview.

Flirty Barry: Pun in the Sketch Title, I can�t say no to those. Barry�s crazy character provided some excellent lines, that whole mother bit was hilarious. Julia provided some good comments as well, I could visualize the interaction between them. But the ending was a bit abrupt I would have kept going a bit more, take him into San Francisco maybe.

Well that�s all for this review. I�m still working on my Kevin Spacey review and I have my nominations to take care. All in due time, thank you and goodnight.
