This show was way ahead of it's time


I watched a rerun of this show the other day and wow, it's still hilarious. But one thing struck me. As crude as it was in 1999, it is much more mainstream today. Watching Family Guy and movies made by the Coen's, this would have been much more acceptable today than in 1999. It's too bad, because this was a classic.

Yeah... And I felt this show was hamstringed... I think had this been an HBO/Showtime series, this would still be in production. Very sad... But it's like my other fave short-lived tv show, The Job.

Totally agree. "The Job" and "Action", the two greatest TV shows ever.

This show would do so well on TV today, it would be a huge hit. So sad it ended up on shockingly PC 1999 Fox. Talk about a show that needs a Netflix or Amazon revival. Still one of the funniest things you can watch today.
