Summary

Please note: contains explicit content.

Sounds Like America is a wild sound collage of the United States as seen by the people who know it best and tell it like it really is: comedians.

Hosted by a rotating cast of seasoned comics, each episode covers a different American pastime, region, city, characteristic, or zeitgeist. The show opens with a host introduction, followed by a sound collage that features stand-up comedy, funny interviews with special guests and folks on the street, and even local music. It's a hilarious (and sometimes touching) tribute to our complicated country.

Dreadful with awful language

No warning in episode one about the bad language. Barely 2-3 minutes in and the third f word I hit stop and deleted it.

If You want to be treated Like you are a MORON.

Wow. I can't begin to describe how terrible this was. I think I got through the first episode and I am hard pressed to remember the last time A production talked down to me like this. I was so angry and upset after the first 20 minutes I couldn't finish. I criticise Children's books for talking down to the audience this much. there is no excuse for an adult production to treat thje audience like we not only have a 8th grade education but we are mentally infirm as well.

Wow.
