      Season 1 – The Sarah Silverman Program

      2007 Comedy List
      61% 28 Reviews Tomatometer 79% Fewer than 50 Ratings Audience Score Told through an array of scripted scenes (and songs), this fictionalized take on comedian Sarah Silverman's daily life finds the title character falling into sometimes bizarre but usually hilarious predicaments -- all with her sister (played by her real sibling), her nerdy gay neighbors and a colorful police officer never far from her side.

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      While Silverman herself isn't the most likable sitcom character, that's also part of what makes this clever, outrageously offensive, bizarre, and relentlessly hilarious comedy tick.

      Audience Member I made a mistake and you can't go back and edit your reviews here. I wrote on "Jesus Is Magic" that theatre employees make minimum wage, but that's not true. A lot of the employees are "volunteers", especially theatre ushers who put up with a lot of patron BS, and the theatre takes great advantage of their free labor. Sound familiar? Yeah, so... At least the volunteers love what they do. But, if you want to show corporate America how to act, you've got a chance to address it in your own act with the people working your own show. xxoo Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Totally weird and unique. Hilarious. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Sarah Silverman Program is far from either the best or the worst live-action sitcom, and Sarah Silverman herself isn't as funny as she is chatty and purposefully annoying, but the episodes are still entertaining. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Sarah Silverman's Program stars a fictional version of Sarah Silverman who is an unemployed single Jewish woman in her late 30s living in an apartment funded by her sister, her gay neighbours and various characters have outrageous adventures. Season 1 was not that great until it got to the last episode. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      John Doyle Globe and Mail She's gifted, for sure, but what she's doing here isn't comedy for grown-ups. Sometimes, what looks like taboo-shattering jokes are just juvenile, attention-seeking antics. Sep 17, 2019 Full Review Austin Smith New York Post There are parts of The Sarah Silverman Program that are so inventive it makes you wonder why she has to veer so often into the loo of lowered expectations. Sep 17, 2019 Full Review Paul Brownfield Los Angeles Times Silverman, a thinking-person's insult comic, doles out an array of slights and put-downs and, as usual, she's a Trojan horse of shock humor: cute and coquettish on the outside, brainy raunch if you get close. Sep 17, 2019 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher Whether she's making fun of homeless people or getting stoned on cough medicine, the premeditated un-P.C.ness of these six episodes gets real tedious real fast. Unless, perhaps, you're a 13-year-old male nerd. Sep 17, 2019 Full Review John Paulsen Bullz-Eye.com It's not quite as funny as Jesus Is Magic, her excellent live comedy film, but given the constraints of basic cable and her comedic style, The Sarah Silverman Program is a reasonable compromise. Rated: 4/5 Sep 17, 2019 Full Review Randy Schiff Buffalo News [Sarah] Silverman is a gifted performer. She never breaks character, making a painful spectacle of her maniacally impolite, prejudiced, vindictive and self-centered ways. Sep 17, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
