Countdown to the 1 year anniversary of the last post about this show.

OK actually Jimmy Kimmel has done classic comedy. But I want to air a couple grievances with this show.

Jimmy Kimmel's comedy is becoming way way too stale.
He's had the FCC bleeps and blurs thing what, 4 years now? I still get a laugh out of it once in awhile but please, not even David Letterman would keep a running joke for 4 years!

Seriously what is up with his weird ass obsession/nepotism with his family and friends or coworkers?

Honestly, the Guillermo thing, was funny for about a couple months. However in my opinion Guillermo is not funny, he's not charming, he's fat, and any skit where he's not talking to a celebrity are total wastes of time.
Sometimes I wonder, are we supposed to be laughing at or with his various family and friends. When I see Uncle Frank make dumb remarks about the economy, am I laughing at the content of those remarks or am I laughing at the ramblings of an idiot? And is it fair to put your Uncle in a position where he can be mocked time and again on national TV? And Veatrice the security guard, what does she add really? A mean old African American lady who just swears and says nothing ever really that funny? Thats not helping the image of African American women at all, it's just a ugly negative stereotype.
I am just so tired of turning on Jimmy's monologue and hoping for something funny and in between the genuinely funny clips of news anchor gaffes or pratfalls, you get these long boring skits with Jimmys various friends and family that are never that funny! Like the time killing part of the show or something.

I have one more grievance with Jimmy Kimmel.

The ads within the show now are out of control. I could accept the "Pontiac Music Show" or whatever they call it. I can live with that. But last week I saw Uncle Frank shilling for KY Lubricant and then you have just gone too far pal. Thinking of a 70yr old man using KY is too much to process at midnight. Tonight there was someone eating a Subway sandwich. And that whole thing where they did this big "skitvertisment" for Coke, that was just retarded.

Jimmy Kimmel still has one of the most easy going laid back styles of anyone and he makes for a cool interview IMO. So I still watch for that. And he has a blue collar aura about him with a pinch of Hollywood cynicism which is unique and fun. But this show is really losing my interest. I hope ABC would force Jimmy to really go back to the drawing board and try some new characters and try, actually TRY to make some new comedy. Because right now, watching is becoming a broken record.
