Am I the only one who watched this last nite?

Thought it was pretty funny...better than the ads would lead you to believe.

I watched about the first two minutes and turned the TV off after hearing some pretty pathetic accents being thrown around.

I made it for about twice that. Frighteningly bad.

Even the 'stache has been done better... I will not watch this (or much else on over-the-air network television).

i was disappointed, unfortunately, because i'm sort of easily amused with new comedy shows.

i'll keep watching though and form my opinion then.

I thought it was surprisingly good. I fear it might get a little schmaltzy with the "do good and good will come to you" outcome every week, but it was quite fun. Seems to have been consciously modeled after Raising Arizona with regards to the over-the-top hickness going on. This is "high-brow low-brow" comedy, people - something I would think would be right up the alley of many Obnerites. I would also think Scrubs fans would enjoy it - very similar style of humor and editing.

Now THAT was a complete waste of time. Really bad. Very stiff acting, very predictable jokes. Seems aimed at the people who like Two and a Half Men but want something semi-"edgy."

I was disappointed. I thought it'd be a lot funnier than it was.

Although the accents were bad, I liked it, but I'm easy to please when it comes from tv.

I thought the Earl show was okay except Jason isn't really believable as that bad of a person. I'll probably watch it a couple more times to see how it develops.

Nah, we've gotten hooked on the show Supernatural on WB. Actually pretty damn good. And spooky.Kind of aiming to be the X-Files redux only with young males in the lead and they have no organization affiliation whatsoever.

Worth checking out. WB seems to do supernatural/horror stuff better then regular shows. See Buffy, Angel, and Charmed for examples(though last three years of Charmed have been blah).

my dad described every minute for me (like he does)

no offense to him, but the fact that he though it was funny/good probably means I will think its not so hot.

He named his kid Pilot Inspektor. That makes him a horrible person.

They really need a show. Maybe Radcliffe could write for it.

I thought Earl was pretty good. I'm a fan of Ethan Suplee, as well, though. It was only the first episode, Lee said they get funnier as they go along.

I thought it was pretty good, I'm definately watching it again. It wasn't laugh out loud funny really, but it was amusing. And I'm a fan of Jason Lee and the Boy Meets World guy (Ethan Suplee?) so yeah...
