I didn't even enjoy the promos for it, so it was a no-go for me.

Yeah, I was somewhat disappointed.

I sort of liked it. The segments were hit or miss but I thought it had its moments. The Lebron/Wade/Bosh rules were good as well as the soccer bit. I like their subtle jabs more than the over-the-top skits. The Onion has always been better when their stuff is not overdone.
I'd give it a little while to find their footing. Has some potential.

The "who would you kill" bit was really awful. The soccer bit was pretty funny I thought. I'll probably give it another week but I don't have high hopes at all. I distinctly remember as they went into a commercial thinking to myself "well its almost over I guess I will plow through the rest" and then seeing that I was only at the 18 minute mark of the program and barely halfway through. Really bad sign there.

I have to agree 100% with this. The show was awful and I will not be back.

I laughed a few times. I guess I'm easily amused.
I wouldn't put the show on my DVR list, but if I were channel-surfing, I'd stop and watch it.

Last week's was much better - I laughed at pretty much everything other than the Toad. In fact, the wife and I laughed so hard we were crying at the Make A Wish Foundation spoof.
I don't think I've ever laughed at a single Onion item.
