i do not watch a lot of tv and except for the office and weed and entourage and e. soup . i think i hold this show in good company . i love the scathing review of pop culture that this show give . soup also help me stay on top of what people in the office be refer to when talk about a sanjaya or heidi montag ( sp . ) . the best part be that soup show clip of the highlight of these show and which be usually the funny or most controversial moment ( c amon and most people get hook into watch american idol because of the freak show that be the audition ) and which be why most people claim to watch . and that mean and i do not have to suffer through the other 98 % of these mind numb talk show or reality show and for one nugget of funny or shock . the only reason why soup doesn not get a 10 in my opinion be sometime the sketch be not that funny and and on an even rare occasion and the commentary isn not always up to par . but they can not all be home run either and if so and soup wouldn not be on e. joel quick wit and soup writing team ( which include mchale ) make for a great show . i happen to enjoy the laughing and comment from the crew who be off camera . even when theyre be blatantly obvious by give occasional courtesy laugh and it hilarious because it be force . theyre obviously be ironic . and that part of what make this show funny .
