Most American TV comedy is safe, studio pap. Every now and again, someone with balls comes along and pushes the boundries (Family Guy's Seth McFarlane) but it mainly consists of How I Met Your Mother, etc. Thankfully there's Comedy Central and HBO to find new ways to amuse and offend in equal measure...who several years ago produced The Sarah Silverman Program, a surreal half hour weekly comedy, from the Jew that gave you "I'm f~~king Matt Damon".
Sarah plays herself, a rude, selfish, naive and very childlike 30-something. Being this rude selfish and childlike, Sarah gets into a bit of trouble each week, and it's up to her sister, sister's cop boyfriend and two gay next door neighbours to help her out. Politically correct this is not. Yey!
