Wanda Sykes on Fox
 
The show Wanda at Large begins later this month.

I saw Philip Morris, son of the late Greg Morris (old 70s TV show) was on the commercial.

Some of her material is funny.

Yo, I saw the preview during American Idol. I LOVE Wanda Sykes and from the previews the show looks like it will be funny!! Can't wait!

I actually liked this movie!!! :)

My all time favorite Wanda Sykes moment was when she was on the Chris Rock show. The episode after the Bush election was HILARIOUS.

I wish I could see this show. Oh, the life of second shift...

She is also the voice of a puppet on Crank Yankers and remember she played the maid in Down To Earth with Chris Rock.

I do like Wanda Sykes, but it always sounds like she's reading when she talks.

kiml122 03-21-2003 12:06 PM

Just the sound of her voice is funny to me and makes me laugh. I thought she was so funny as the maid in Down to Earth.

The only time I have ever found this woman funny was in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Here's a list of her...stuff. :p

Gina1201 03-26-2003 06:59 PM

Don't forget, the show comes on tonight!

librasoul22 03-26-2003 11:15 PM

I thought it was pretty funny. Not no Will and Grace, now, lol. But I will watch it again. I think Wanda is better on HBO shows where she has less restaint than regular cable. It seemed a little forced. But the part where she was taping the gun documentary was pretty funny when that dude shot and she was like RUN! lol

AKA2D '91 03-27-2003 09:05 AM

I thought they were trying to poke fun of The Osbournes with all the *bleeps*. It's definitely a different show!

Ok...I LOVE Will & Grace too, but I like Wanda Sykes. Her show was funny last night, but I agree that if it were on cable it would be funnier b/c she would have less restraint...

I liked how she went to work when she was fired in her robe...Shoot, if you're gonna fire me call me at home so I can go back to sleep!

:D ;) :p :) :cool:

I enjoyed it!!! I would watch it again.

I agree w/ some of the above comments that Wanda is a funny comedian. I also enjoyed her on the Chris Rock show but I didn't care for "Wanda at Large". It wasn't funny to me, but I will give it another chance before I stop watching.

Gina1201 03-27-2003 11:55 PM

I finally had a chance to watch the show and I must say I liked it. It was not Wanda at her funniest but there were a few moments. I'll watch it again to see if it gets any funnier.

Wanda Sykes
 
I watched the show and thought that it was really funny.

But......

Did anyone notice Jurnee Smollette in the very beginning? I know you all remember her from Eve's Bayou and a show that was on television a long time ago with ALL her brothers and sisters. I cant remember the name of it, but it was cancelled really quick.

Anyways, just thought I would bring it up. She really has grown up from the little girl that she used to be. When I saw her I couldnt believe that it was her.

Peace and one!

I remember the SHOW and cannot think of the title for the life of me, but I will search for it. She also was on COSBY -- Hilton and Ruth one as well as Full House. Very talented and beautiful.

Nope that was not her.

Naya Rivera
"Gwendolyn"
Naya Rivera played Gwendolyn, the sweet and charming little girl who had a huge crush on Richie. She is best remembered for her beautiful smile and for her lovely poems like, "Roses are red, Some socks are black, Won't you be my Daddy Mack?"


:D

"Wanda" Nets Big Ratings for Fox
Fox's new comedy Wanda at Large received strong Nielsen ratings Wednesday, leading its 9:30 p.m. time slot in most categories by retaining 67 percent of its 18-49 lead-in from the second half hour of American Idol. Wanda's numbers represent Fox's best comedy premiere among adults 18-49 since the debut of Grounded for Life in January 2001 and its largest overall audience for a comedy bow since Malcolm in the Middle in January 2000, Variety reports.

i looked up eve's bayou and checked the bio on jurnee smollett. the show that she played in with all of her brothers and sisters was called 'on our own'.

CrimsonTide4 04-02-2003 10:50 PM

not feeling Wanda's sister-in-law @ ALL.
