Testees

Did anyone watch this show?

Overall, I thought it wasn't too bad. Quite a few laugh-out-loud moments.

Saw 2 episodes and bailed. I really felt like the show should be on Spike TV.

Yeah this didn't seem like an FX show. I caught an episode or two after Always Sunny and didn't care for it.

Out of all 13 episodes, only 5 or 6 were really good. It's EP & writer is Kenny Hotz from Kenny vs. Spenny. Testees is technically a Showcase (canada) show I think, so it wasn't "made" by FX.

This show is hilarious. The scene in "Truth Serum" where Peter's mother wistfully recalls the instant he was conceived in an asylum - in a flashback within a flashback, no less - was awesomely tasteless. The use of classical music is great, if occasionally jarring. Whenever I hear Satie's Gymnopédie No. 1 from now on, it'll be hard not to think of burnt nipples.

I thought the zombie ep that aired after the season finale of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was the season finale for this show, so I missed the whole second half of the season.

Based on what I saw, I felt the show had some potential but wasn't realizing it just yet.

I think the show would benefit from some additional cast members. There's just not enough females on the show.

I really enjoy the show. I agree that they could add another regular character, preferably female. The bar chick is definitely hot though.

Never even heard of this show .... sounds like it's an up-close look at male genitalia.

That's the main reason I skipped this one completely. Was this one the same type of humor? If so, I'm glad I didn't bother.

A genuine quilty pleasure. Every episode has a minimum of two or three moments where I'm thinking "I can't belive they did that" holding my ribs because I'm laughing so hard.
