It's..............oka y!

I figured this would be the worst show of all time, but I was shocked to watch the first one and find that it wasn't bad. I hate Rob S. more than anything on the Earth, but I have to say, it is kinda good.

If you haven't seen it, it's like the George Lopez Show if it were the funniest thing ever.

It is a lot like Three's Company, a lot of physical humor, and they always reach for the cheapest joke possible.

I suppose it depends how racially sensitive you are, though; The pilot alone uses every Mexican stereotype of all time.

I think this is the first time in recent memory that I thought that a standard sitcom (three camera, audience, laugh track, very timed/standard jokes, sets) was any good.

It sucks..... I hope they cancel it quickly!

I first heard about this from the little pop up ads on other series, and just from those it looked bad. I couldn't find any previews of it, but as I do like most of Rob Schneiders movies I gave the first episode a try, and to be honest it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but I wouldn't say it's good.

It's probably because I had my expectations so low, but I at least made it through the episode without it wanting me to turn it off straight away. 2 episodes in and I'm probably not going to be watching any more of it, mainly because it's in a format I hate: cheap looking, annoying 'laugh track'every few seconds, poor and very forced jokes.
I'm pretty sure it won't make it to a second season, but seeing that Whitney hasn't been cancelled yet (which was so bad I almost turned it straight off, and had to force myself to make it through one episode) it might do well if it has the same audience.

Okay, I'm the OP here and I officially stopped watching Rob halfway into the second episode. It was really tame compared to the first.

This show breaks new ground:

This is the first show that added Cousin Oliver right from episode one (the brother in law that is needlessly in every scene).
