buckeyemike Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 The show is set in Buffalo. We start in June 1994, when the protagonist is 32, unemployed, and living with his parents. Today, he's supposed to be the richest man in Buffalo (richer than Golisano or Jeremy Jacobs? He must be loaded.). The major background event is the OJ slow speed chase. Piece of cra...uh, pretty good show. Honestly, it had its moments...but I thought I saw DVD cases in the video store where the guy worked at. That would tell me that they didn't do their research very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I saw a movie about this show a little while back Funny cause it also starred a former (bhut funnier) Daily show corrispondent. I can't remember the title of the movie, but it had a 40 year old guy in it, and I believe he was a virgin? It wasn't great and probably won't be on much longer, but who knows, I could be wrong, I mean they have kept worse shows on the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACor58 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I had to turn it off after five minutes. What a putrid show. You should have given it a little bit longer, I really liked it. I always liked ROb Courdry's sense of humor and his delivery when he was on the Daily Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 You guys would have killed Seinfeld before it ever had a chance to get off the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tomcat Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 OK at best....I'll give it another chance. The kid pimp'n his mom was somewhat disturbing....but she is hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 i try not to be a hater on anything right away. and, by default, im a fan of both Rob Courdry and Seth McFarland so i was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt even if it had a slow start. but that show sucked from the get-go. the entire series opened with an OJ joke... the jokes are forced and the writing is not witty. i dont know, maybe after a few episodes it will find its path and will get better. but it may be too late by then...

I always liked ROb Courdry's sense of humor and his delivery when he was on the Daily Show. Thats my stance on it I watched both episodes and can't say I enjoyed it I am always confused when a show like this has a chance to air, yet a show like arrested development gets canceled by the same network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 The laugh track made me turn it off after a couple minutes. Do those things ever actually help a show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justnzane Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 i have to say that it is better than the naked trucker or the sarah silverman shows... that said this show has some potential, but in all likelihood it will be canceled after a season or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Cordry was good, but the show sucked. Sadly, Seth McFarlane created his first flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people who watch them are probably just as baked watching them as they were writing them. I can't see this show lasting the 1-2 season you say. Most stations tend to cancel shows like that early if they aren't getting the response they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 saw a few mins of the show, and then spent the next half hour trying to figure what poster on here that the character was based off of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
