It's not very clear to me whether you liked the show or not, though it sounds like you liked the last line at least? ;-)

I would call her an acquired taste, I guess. I have to admit that even in her Seinfeld appearances, I didn't take to her much at all, finding her more obnoxiously strident and pushy than anything else. But I also mention that because this whole show sounds much like one of those episodes - the one where she kept using her stand-up show to complain about and attack Jerry. (The conceit that he could ultimately never say anything right and that it all become fodder for her act - that was funny. Her character itself was not, IMO.) I guess not much has changed?

She of course has the right to do a show about whatever she wants, but to me this sounds pretty tedious and uninviting. Not to mention the running time. Wow.

I did like it but I am a fan of hers. Spoiler of last line

During the interrogation, the person asked griffin what she would say to the president if he walked through the door ( and she did wonder if he might actually walk through the door). She said she had to pull her inner Martha Stewart and said that she would just say “hi”.

Never cared for her celebrity-adoring stand-up schtick or public persona, though often found My Life on the D-List a fascinating look how that front is maintained. I wish her success, even if her bread-and-butter isn't to my taste.

With no breaks/intermission. 3:30 straight through.

3:30 with no intermission is insane. (nm)

Luckily i had an aisle seat, but I was only bored a few times. I looked at my watch a lot more during 90 minutes of straight white men.

Einstein On The Beach lasts 5 hours with no official intermission, though originally they let people leave and return as they needed to, and I assume that's been the norm in subsequent productions.

Then again, Einstein On The Beach is, easily, much funnier than Griffin...;-)
