Half Hour News Hour: bad television done right

Here are the following questions that I thought to myself while watching last night’s airing of The Half Hour News Hour on Fox News:

-Why didn’t they hire comedy writers?

-Who is the target audience for this? And does that audience actually exist?

-Does Fox News still harp about all of that “Fair and Balanced” nonsense, and if so does putting a comedy show on a news channel finally dispel those thoughts that they aren’t, in fact, a right wing mouthpiece?

-Have the creators of this show ever seen The Daily Show?

-Why is it that actually having a real live audience still can’t make it sound like real live people are actually laughing?

I didn’t think FOX could ever produce something as unfunny as Happy Hour. Now I just don’t know what to think. It was so monumentally awful writing anything about it just seems unnecessary. Did anyone else watch? What did you think?
