Not really my cup of tea, i found it a bit boring and way low budget.
But, bravo to Mr. Self who through hard work and self promotion moved from small time (posting videos in threads here) to at least medium time (LOGO).
So this is why they haven't posted any videos in a while! Not sure about them making this a full length program, but good for them!

I love them! It was so funny!
Also, did you guys notice Anthony Hollock from Hair as the teacher at the prom, and Martin Cummings as the the kid that goes in before jeffery and cole.
I just saw this and it's brilliant. There's something about their comedy that's both young and old-fashioned at the same time. Also, I love Cole. Wouldn't be surprised to see him on SNL in 5 to 10 years.

Epic FAIL!! Jeffery seems somewhat sane, but Cole is just straight out annoying and trys WAY to hard. Jeffery should do the show alone.
Cole is a comic genius. Jeffery is an adorable straight man (!!!) to Cole's lunacy, like George and Gracie, Desi and Lucy, Rowan and Martin...
That said, I was deeply offended by the Old Show Queen segment, which I believe was based on someone we all know.
I just saw the first episode online, and I kept laughing at the goofy randomness. I'm sure my parents were deeply confused. And yes... I loved the Old Show Queen. And Becky. I still like Jeffery slightly more, but Cole is just adorable.
But it wouldn't be a comedy show if it was just Jeffery! He's supposed to be the "straight man" to Cole's insanity. If he did the show alone, it would just be monologues and no physical comedy.
And yes, Old Show Queen was amazing.
If you're reading this Cole, I DON'T HAVE A CAT AND I DON'T LIVE WITH MY MOTHER!
They're adoarable. Hopefully LOGO won't screw them the way they screwed Del Shores/Leslie Jordan. These boys should be on HBO or SHOWTIME.
Bravo to these guys! I think they are terrific. And LOGO is smart to capitalize on this new evolution of film making.

itunes charged me for it..... but i dont mind.....
I was so excited to learn that this was happening. I have been a subscriber on YouTube for well over a year. I was really pulling for this to be good. I think Jeffery Self is so hysterical. Unfortunately, I found it to be terrible.
As others have said, everything just seemed so forced.

I haven't heard anyone say that but jennafan (who seems oddly negatively obsessed).
But comedy is a very subjective thing, so as always: to each his/her own.
"Cole is a comic genius"
Wow, PalJoey - that is high praise from you.
I'm not that impressed.
I'm willihng to give it another chance. It's not so much trouble to DVR and it's only a half hour. I just hope that we will see better material coming from them.
I really enjoy it, although I don't pretend to understand everything they do. Like much great comedy, I think some of the genius is when they miss the mark. They actually take risks which I love.
Since LOGO hasn't finished paying for Sordid Lives yet, maybe webisodes are what is in their budget.
I tell you, the "Jazz" segment will never fail to amuse me. Also, Cole looks like Bernadette Peters even without the wig. He has her cheeks and mouth.
I hope they eventually get a bigger budget, but I love what they are doing.
I hope HBO scoops them up.
they are 2 very dedicated, hard working, & talented guys :) hope this show stays around for a long time!
Anyone watch tonight? I laughed really hard, but I'm starting to think I would enjoy this more if I was stoned. This show is 1,000 times weirder than the weirdest of their YouTube vids.
I just stumbled onto this and I adore it. It's like the best of the [title of show] shows.
And Cole is Little Mr. Scrumptious Teddy Bear Yum Yum.
A little bit of 'em goes a long way ...... even and just 30 minutes (well, I guess actually about 22) it was more than enough.
The next one I'll watch in little bite-size pieces and see if it's any funnier that way.
A painful, unfunny show. They are cute, fey, and trying very hard to be charming. It is one thing to see a two-minute YouTube clip and another to see them in their own "show." Wasn't the queen who moaned "leave Britney alone!" and the other one from the south with messy hair lisping "bitches!" supposed to get their own shows, too?
