I don't know if the leads are interesting enough to be an interesting show, but the first episode featured one of the funniest things I've ever seen. You'll know it when you see it.

I thought this was OK. Laughed at a few bits. The "chink" comment was so random. Will continue to check it out.

The payoff was there for the last few episodes. The last scene was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV.

Wow, only comments after the first and final episodes. Guess not many people watched this. Thought it was pretty funny overall. Another season would be great, or just a new show in a similar style.

Dammit...canceled, it seems. Comedy Central is not picking up a season 2.
