There's a reason why "Demo Reel" failed, and why Channel Awesome doesn't do Anniversary Movies anymore:

sketch comedy had died and has been replaced with review shows.

Carly's Show is a sketch comedy show. Thus, it will either hemmorrage viewer and force Carly Shay to start a review show, or (as in the case of College Humor, Funny or Die, and Newgrounds) it will continue even as it fades from the public conscoussness.

Most new internet shows nowadays (Black Angry Nerd, Honest Trailers, Cinema Sins) are review shows in one way or another. It's the reason Angry Video Game Nerd is still going strong after all those years (and even the AVGN movie included a review as its climax), and the reason Doug was forced to bring back Nostalgia Critic.

Carly Shay is charming enough and talented enough that she can easily stand in front of a camera and review stuff. But skertch comedy just isn't "in" right now.
