The Five

The Five is an American talk show on Fox News Channel featuring a rotating panel of contributors who discuss current political issues and pop culture. The show premiered in July 2011, replacing the Glenn Beck program, and airs on weekdays at 5:00 p.m. ET with replays at 2:00 a.m. ET. On October 3, 2011, after successful ratings and high popularity, Fox News announced that The Five would become the permanent 5p.m. series, as the program was previously announced to last only during the summer. The Five is currently the second-most-watched program in all of cable news in the United States, placing only behind The O'Reilly Factor.

I think I'm just going to take what I said about the Gutfeld show and do the same thing here. It's not funny. It's really not. They go for claptaugher rather than laughter just like SNL does, only this time they do it with guests. It's kind of the Right-Wing version of The View, only slightly hiper and not as hard to watch... but that doesn't mean you should watch it. It's the kind of show that you just groan and roll your eyes at, and the people that love it just love it because they agree with it, not because it offers anything or actually makes people laugh.
