My Thoughts: I tried really hard to hate this show. I wanted to hate this show. Its silly, stupid, and has a ridiculous song performance midway through entitled “I fell in love with the pizza girl, now I eat pizza everyday”. Unfortunately, I kept laughing despite my best efforts. It’s not that the show is written well, it’s just so ridiculously stupid that it makes you laugh. It’s some kind of weird hybrid of the Monkees with Wiggles-like musical numbers included to break up the monotony of the narrative. I guess this would fall in a category of Awesomely Bad Shows, you laugh at the sheer insanity of what you are seeing on the screen, and I think they embraced it. Deciding early on, if its going to be goofy, let’s make it the most outrageously goofy thing we could. I am ashamed to say I am going to watch a few more of these shows when I just need some downtime from using my brain for anything remotely productive, just don’t expect this show to make any best or worst lists, its in a stratosphere all of its own.
