    Kevin Dillon is a hoot. The rest of the cast is okay. But this was only the pilot and hows always improve on the pilot. So this should only get better. I give it a thumbs up and look forward to next weeks episode.

    I thought the show was hilarious and am stoked to see Rhys Darby and Dave Foley back on the box with Cricket and Johnny Drama. I love Parks and Recreation but I'll be with these guys.

    I LOVED THIS SHOW! Great acting! Great cast! Dave Foley and Rhys Darby are hilarious and Dillon and Hornsby have great chemistry together. I can't wait to see where it goes next week!

    The thought this series was funny and had great potential. And it most definitely had an excellent cast that deserved a chance to smooth out the kinks and find there audience.
    It's been a sad state of comedy affairs this season.

    There's nothing to really dislike about CBS' new sitcom How to Be a Gentleman. There's just not that much there at all.

    I've watched the pilot possibly too many times not to notice how the parts have been glued together and the jokes teed up, but the performances are good.

    It seems to have an awful lot in common with a group of shows that never [found themselves], the generic and unfunny fodder that NBC threw up between its popular comedies back when it ruled Thursday nights with Friends, Seinfeld, Frasier, and Will and Grace.
