Review:
Season 1 Part 1 Rating: Watch it / It depends / [Skip it]
  • This show is the intersection of an R-rated comedy and a '90s sitcom. The laugh track was incredibly annoying in the first episode, but I slowly got used to it. It's never anything more than a bland comedy. It doesn't get better as it goes on, you just get used to it and accept it.

Season 1 Part 2 Rating: Watch it / It depends / [Skip it]
  • This is best as background noise. The plot lines are very simple, as are the jokes. The only reason this show seems to have a plot is to provide a framework for dick and poop jokes. If the jokes were actually funny or the least bit clever, I could begin to like this but neither happens.
    This combines the sensibilities of a '90s sitcom like the single camera approach and laugh track with a fifth grader who just learned swear words. Language doesn't bother me, but in this case it's such a disconnect with the tone of the show.
