By the way, for anyone who's utterly confused, all the subject lines are lines Stephen's used to opened the Report, except I replaced "truth" with "review." Yay, themes.

Summer PSA: You lost me in the Home Depot/hardware store bit, I can�t follow what he�s saying. He doesn�t finish the first story. The Uno bit is better, seems more focused. The milk part is also okay. The best part is definitely Steve Carell�s bit.
I feel like the whole thing would seem a lot less random if the topics attacked by Colbert were really summer things: roasting marshmallows, camping, swimming, eating ice cream, etc.

Nancy Drew: Oh, Nancy Drew. My mother has a lot of the old books; never really got into them. I would just read the endings because they were the only interesting part. I seemed to prefer the Bobbsey Twins, god help me. And later, the Babysitter�s Club. (I�m talking in terms of children�s series; I did read some good stuff as a kid!)
And yes, the awkward and forced dialogue was very intentional. I do know how to write good dialogue, or so my teachers tell me. But in sketch writing I'm not usually trying to be realistic.

Dr. Phil: I don�t really know him, but it seems like you do have the persona down, as a pretty consistent patronizing and fuzzy kind of guy. I think it would work a lot better if Jesus and God were talking about the actual life of Jesus. Clearly you�re trying to parody the things these people say when they come on the show, but I think taking some of the real Jesus stuff into the kinds of accusations etc. these people make is a better approach for both satire and comedy.

The Basement:
AHH SILENCE OF THE LAMBS REFERENCE AHHH

*tries to calm self down*

Sorry, I had to watch that film for my cinema class...not the type of film I would have watched for pleasure, let�s just say. Also, Stephen did a segment on TDS that referenced the movie <strike>and now I'm scarred for life</strike>...anyway.

Okay. Now I�ve read the entire sketch. This is really creative. Barring the part with the SOTL reference, okay.
