I knew there was a reason I gave up on that show after one episode. Sometimes instincts just work.

The show is based on a New Zealand series by the same name, and like most rehosts, is very lacking compared to the original. American screen writers are the laziest bunch of no-talent hacks on the whole planet. It goes back for DECADES and DECADES.

An early one I remember was Steptoe and Son (Sanford and Son), a later one the British “Shameless” series on which the one here on cable is based (and badly, IMO). Another great New Zealand series “Outrageous Behavior” was tried here under the same name with that chick from the Candy Man movies....bad bad bad.

A new show I gave up on after two episodes is “Resurrection” based on a French Series “The Returned”.

Anything that is good seems like it has to be a non network production, and then they only make 10 or so episodes for a year. Others like “Falling Skies” are great mostly, but it’s even longer in between seasons.

I watched maybe 10 minutes of the pilot episode. Didn’t find it funny or interesting.

I have always had a difficult time trying to watch ‘goofball’ comedy/comedians, whether on TV or movies.
