I.. didn't change the channel.

Not a bad show at all. Could use a couple of tweaks, but I actually like it. If I were to critique a few things it'd be the over-exploitation of Italian/Canadian stereotypes, I'm willing to forgive *some* of it, after-all it is a satirical outlook of the Italian-mob family lifestyle - Jersey Shore was a hit, right? lol. - but its the same rehashed lame jokes recycled. Italian this, Canada that. Hope they don't plan on playing that angle for the rest of the episodes.

What I liked about it was it IS funny. I actually had myself a few laughs.

*SPOILERS* (when the dad's drowning the uncle in the kiddy-pool after the uncle's snark remark and he says: "This time I'm not pulling you up")

(The kid running up the car and the dad pulls a gun on him)

There's a few more I didn't remember, but their joke base is pretty alright. A few misses and long-winded stuff, but for the most part in-check.

Overall, I'm looking forward to future episodes. I'd put it roughly in the range of a better first impression than the Dating Guy and slightly less funnier than shows like Quads, Mission Hill, Oblongs and Sons Of Butcher. Teletoon, you're off to a good start.

I like it too, I hope it grows though just like you, I know people who worked on the show and apparently the writers search up criticism both good and bad, so I wanted to write something. You stole my words, its got great potential, I thought it would be terrible, but just like you, i...I didnt change the channel

I surprised at it as well. It's pretty good. I love the different story beginnings telling the story of how they got to Vagina err Regina, Saskatchewan. It isn't the greatest show ever but far, far better than The Dating Guy and Crash Canyon.
