Comedienne Amy Schumer made history being the first female to get her own show on Comedy Central, but it’s proven to not be a fluke as “Inside Amy Schumer” was just renewed for a third season. The network is being wise to add more comedies created by women to its program lineup after the success of Schumer.

Her show has been lauded as one of the most ‘consistently feminist show on televison’ along with being considered ‘always just a little dangerous, but with enough big laughs to justify any possible offense.’ The first season was non-stop laughs every episode, but this second season has had a few misses. Thankfully, her hits more than make up for the misfires. Some of her best parts are Schumer doing her stand-up segments or the ‘Amy Goes Deep’ bits where she asks people from all industries (including porn) all those questions we’re all dying to ask.
One of the more odd things that happened this year was when Schumer was nominated for a 2014 Emmy in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category. That would be like Louis C.K. receiving the similar. You can bet his fans would be crying foul, and I’m wondering why she is relegated to supporting when it’s her show and she stars in all of her skits.
Comedy Central also has five new digital series which will be premiering on different platforms this year. Check them out below:
6 Guys 1 Car
Written by and starring Dormtainment’s comedy troupe and directed by Nick Goossen, the series follows six guys from Atlanta to Los Angeles, documenting the “Broke and Famous” lifestyle of their YouTube popularity.
300 Sunnyside

New Timers
Written and directed by and starring comedy duo Good Cop Great Cop, aka Matt Porter and Charlie Hankin, New Timers follows Matt and Charlie, two friends who managed to survive the apocalypse. The world has changed, Matt and Charlie have not.
