Glad i finally gave it a shot because it's pretty damn funny
Episodes are only around 21 min each - i watched 10 in a row last night :D

I have to say, when I saw it was a TV comedy with Eugene Levy who back in the pre-American Pie days I found pretty funny...I largely avoided it based on the more recent Levy stuff (not that I hated Jim's dad...just..they started making him the same character in everything) and yes, also the name of the show.
However, I've since seen bits of one or two episodes on late night TV and it's become something that's on my list of things I might eventually watch.
Same thing happened with "The Mighty Boosh" and "Broad City"...a combination of hearing they were a bit irreverent and stupid, and just...you ever have shows talked up WAY too much by people?
Those were two of them...and I guess they might have been from people I wouldn't expect to have a half decent taste? Who knows.
Watching them both, yes, they are irreverent and stupid...and I don't love either name, they don't "sound" like shows I would watch...It's funny how a human being does that...however, they're both watchable in at least as much as a "when I'm sitting around doing nothing and/or being stoned, I can easily watch these shows.
Last night, watched some cooking with cannabis type show hosted by some dude and Kelis. It was...what it was...the recipes did look pretty delicious, if not a little too reliant on commercial THC extracts...the whole thing felt like a bit of an advertisement because of the branded products though.
Couldn't help but feel like they shamelessly ripped off another show from a couple of years ago...nearly the exact same format.
Started on RED DWARF again...
Well, not from the beginning - from the "Back to Earth" mini series, which was quite clever.
I'd seen all the old stuff, back to earth, and maybe 1/2 of the first "new" season after that...kind of quit on it, as I didn't like the new stuff quite as much...and I still don't...but with the recently released "The Promised Land" mini/movie, I figured I'd catch up.
Still watchable, and it's nice to see the old cast together if nothing else.
Enjoying it at a moderate level.
