I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that failure after 1 season, well it's been known to happen. The first thing that comes to mind is Big Giant Swords, which was somewhat comedy based.Grace has shaped her internet persona over many years, creating a somewhat of a character that will either soar and make me gag of laughter or stare at my screen, time slowing down to a crawl.I fear for some of the load bearing pillars she bases her show on. Watching internet clips and reacting to them isn't exactly ground breaking creativity, very much like my way of writing. Nothing to write home about. I've always loved watching Grace online, but 20 minutes just seems like overkill, even on a weekly basis. Smaller portions daily/almost daily (kind of like heroin.) is still the preferred format for her style of comedy.

I understand that E! is trying super hard to fill the hole that Chelsea left behind. But please, let's just call this a lost cause and move on. This is one situation where something funny on YouTube just doesn't work, at all, on television. Grace would be palatable and entertaining in <5 minute intervals, but the full length episodes are more than difficult to watch and I find myself suffering from an endless amount of seizures and/or vertigo caused by the numerous times my eyes roll into the back of my head. Everything she does is more forced than childbirth and just as difficult to watch. Hey E! If you want something to air for the sake of filling a time slot, air reruns of Mama's Family. I guarantee even that would draw in a bigger audience.

The first episode felt awkward and stilted - probably why it seemed Grace was reading off a teleprompter.The second episode felt much smoother and natural (well, Grace natural). We have a "three episode minimum rule" for new shows, to account for bad first impressions, and it certainly paid off for The Grace Helbig Show.Maybe there actually was a teleprompter in the first episode; who knows. But whatever change they made, it produced positive results. We enjoy Grace's web videos, and having more to watch is always better (remember when there were five videos a week?). I'm kind of sorry that they're censoring it though; it's not broadcast. Can we pretend we're all grownups? Or at least young children? Has anyone seen the comments kids leave on YouTube videos? They know more curse words than the network censors ever will.We'll keep watching.

Grace Helbig is very funny; as demonstrated by her Youtube videos. She has a sense of humor based on awkwardness, timing, and unexpected puns. The problem with this first episode was having a dedicated flow the producers wanted to achieve. Grace is the least funny when given heavy direction as it takes away from the rawness of her humor style. A lot of the show seemed forced. Her awkwardness didn't lend itself to the beginning segments of the show and the whole thing seemed pretty unnatural. The interview was fine, though Grace didn't actually speak much. The part with her Youtube friend was just a Youtube challenge on E!. Finding internet videos to laugh at is nothing new and adding a drinking game to it doesn't really make it different.I hope they can get the flow of the show more streamlined and in line with Grace's humor. I really want to enjoy it, but when the show seems like a long Youtube video, I can't really see it lasting too long. Grace could be a great show host, but this doesn't really seem like a fitting style.
