"Michael & Michael Have Issues" Premieres Early Online

"Michael & Michael Have Issues", a new narrative/sketch comedy series from "The State" and "Stella" stars Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter, is set to premiere on Comedy Central on Wednesday, July 15th at 10:30 PM ET/PT. However, Comedy Central has put the pilot episode of the show online on their press release website, as part of a new "Screening Room" feature. So go check out the show and then come back to post your thoughts here!

Because of various legal issues, we can't give you an exact link to the site, but hopefully you should be able to find it with the information we've given you so far. Once you're on the CC press release site, click on "Screening Room" to watch the episode. Enjoy!

I thought it was okay, a little slow, but most pilots are. I actually thought the "F-N-C word" part was the weakest, but I have a feeling that this will be like 30 Rock in which the sketches are intentionally dumb.

I thought was it was pretty good. I especially like the delivery of "Snapple" by Showalter.

Trust me, I say this because I'm such a huge fan of Michael and Michael and I did like the pilot, but I really wish they had chosen either sketch show or narrative show. At least, that's my opinion right now, and I hope I'm proven wrong as the season progresses.

I liked it a lot. That sketch wasn't dumb at all. The going in for a kiss and having the other person turn their cheek bit is always funny to me.

I find the sketch parts more entertaining than the storyline stuff, so far anyway.

I liked both sides of the show. though, i found msyself enjoying the throwaway jokes and asides the most - "Grab your parka, we're leaving. Get your parka."

I will be laughing at the fight in the yard for days. I've got high hopes for this show.

Agreed, that yard fight and the dialogue going on throughout it was fantastic.
