Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I love how obnoxious Short makes Glick. I think its hilarious how these celebrities come on this show and get pretty much disrespected and sometimes ridiculed. It's great. I can't wait to buy the DVD. I like Shorts exaggerated laughs, and how he jumps up in the chair. There are so many funny things about this show, you should check yer listings to find out when it comes on.

Martin Short has created in Jiminy Glick one of the most original and funny characters in the history of television. Short has always had an original way of poking fun at people, but this is his best effort yet. I am very please with Comedy Central taking this show on for another season and who knows how many seasons it will last, but I do believe it will always be remembered and loved.Short is never afraid of doing something new and unique to get a laugh rather than using direct parody. Both Glick and his sidekick Adrien Van Voorhees (played by the underrated actor/comic, Michael McKean) are hilarious in how eccentric they are. The interesting this about Glick is that it is not that he is fat that is funny, it is how it complements his personality. It is the package that is funny and not just "Martin Short in a fat suit".Explaining the premise doesn't do any justice to "Primetime Glick" and I dare say it may take a few viewings to truly understand the humor of this show, but once you find it you will be hooked, I promise!

I cannot believe that Comedy Central is so desperate it needs this show. I "wanted" to like Martin Short as Glick (the main character), but his humor is so obvious - it's an insult.The premise of the show is a camp guy in a fat suit. This may hold your attention for a skit, and may even raise a smile, but a whole series? Maybe some senior citizens find the idea of a camp guy on TV quite funny. Or perhaps kids will split their sides at an obese guy. Well, they can have it.Short plays a chat show host who insults his guests by not listening. And that's about it. Maybe, if the guests were really uncomfortable, or if Short were to ask some awkward questions, it would have some comic value. The guests try to have fun with it, but it just falls flat. In most cases the guests are funnier, and add more to the show than Short himself (after all, they are playing themselves, and are pretending to be "insulted" at the same time).I assume the guests participate out of pity or respect for Short. But if you have that many great talents on your show (Steve Martin, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Maher, Conan O'Brien, etc.), and you fail to raise a laugh, it's time to pull the plug.

Those of us old enough to remember when Martin Short was really funny (the SCTV days) know it was because of his characters. He never picked movies correctly in the 80's and 90's, and his career suffered for it. In "Glick" he has not only created a comedy masterpiece (I really DON'T remember the last time I laughed so hard at television) he's also returned to what he does BEST. The voice, the makeup, the guests, the strange revulsion/intrigue - it's amazing to watch. Finally - Martin Short is BRILLIANT again! And interestingly, it's just as funny with repeated viewings - primarily because there's so much going on with the Glick character. I'm a jaded viewer, hard to impress, but there's a reason why the "A" list comedians can barely keep a straight face during his interviews! This show is top drawer - I'm already recording it for fear it's too intelligently funny to last for long.
