What the media is saying about Borderline projects:
"Insomniac [with Dave Attell]" is a doubly rare beast, a comedy
without rancor and a travel show about the virtues of the
American underdog." - NEW YORK TIMES Read full article
"By liberating Mr. Attell from his small stage and his brick
wall, Comedy Central has helped create a remarkably robust
hybrid genre: party reality TV (without the boring and
predictable 'real' people), part travel and part comedy."
-NEW YORK TIMES
"Quite Simply, it's foulmouthed, sophomoric, tawdry-and
incredibly fun, combining the elements of travelogue, documentary,
and boys' or girls' night out." -LOS ANGELES TIMES
"Addictive ... an enjoyably twisted valentine to those who only
come out at night." -TIME OUT NEW YORK
"'Straight Plan' is as engaging as the show it mercilessly mocks. It is also funnier,
which is not always the case with satire. Partly scripted, partly improvised,
'Straight Plan' works because the four straight consultants, all comedians and actors,
are engaging ... the humor never gets too cruel or homophobic; the joke is as much on
the straight buffoons as it is on their gay clients, shown as good sports who can
often get the last word." -NEW YORK TIMES Read full article
"In short, it's hysterical. Honest-to-God laugh-out-loud TV. Is it offensive? Sure.
Does it stereotype people? Absolutely. Is it required viewing? You betcha."
-WASHINGTON DC METRO WEEKLY
"While the quintet of Bravo's `Queer Eye for the Straight Guy' make the world
more aesthetically pleasing one makeover at a time, Comedy Central's foursome
gives gay men the chance to be straight for a day. It's not pretty, but it's funny."
-BOSTON HERALD
"The Al Franken Show," ... is cablecast 11:30 /8:30 p.m. nightly for those
lucky enough to have access to The Sundance Channel. Franken ... continues to slap
together some of the wittiest, most pointed satire on the planet. I'd watch him even
if he was backing Bush! - AIN'T IT COOL NEWS
