    Disgusting? You bet. But there’s nothing in “Mating Season” that would stir the kind of passion that warrants calling the cops — or even animal control.

    Mating Season has a couple of chuckleworthy moments in the first episode, but it’s trying too hard to be “adult” to give the characters a chance to develop.
