    I don't know how this could have been worse. Could only stand the first 14 minutes - major SuckSazoid. Poor writing, bad acting - Stinks - only silly girl teenyboppers in lust with one of the actors could think this is any good..

    i kind of smiled once. every joke is either hokey beyond words or completely predictable. expected better from seth greene. he knows what funny is, and it ain't four kings.

    I was ready to throw the towel in after the first 2 minutes or so, but thought I'd be a masochist and watch it for a little while longer. The jokes are incredibly lame and predictable. I would really like to know how the writers get so far as to be considered ready for prime-time when this stuff is so unfunny and sophomoric. I just hope some of the stink doesn't linger onto My I was ready to throw the towel in after the first 2 minutes or so, but thought I'd be a masochist and watch it for a little while longer.

    I give it a 2 because it is a new show. The first episode was okay. I was willing to give it another chance. I had to stop watching during the 1st scene of the 2nd episode. Let's see, a female character refers to having her uteras scraped. Then the "kings" proceed to mention her uteras in obscene. My 14 year old son says it's a "guy show". I say Spike TV or, preferrably, off I give it a 2 because it is a new show. The first episode was okay. I was willing to give it another chance.

    I can't find any reason to watch this show. I didn't think it was funny at all.

    Wow. So much talent, such bad writing. It's painful to watch.

    A touch of "Friends" with "Odd Couple" undertones.

    [A] generic dud.

    Given how familiar the premise is, the show's modest appeal hinges entirely on the cast's marginal chemistry and the rapid-fire jokes, making for at best a hit-miss proposition.
