    I guess my age is showing. I found the first half hour to be juvenile with only a few moments of fun. We all know that Saturday Night Live skits have a tendency to run on and on past the expiration point of their laughs. Six half hours of this show? That's at least a whole month of Saturday Night Lives.

    Smaller tastings of silliness should make for a nice Thursday night alternative this winter.

    This is silliness for its own wonderfully ridiculous sake.

    While Episode 1 is a bit of a bore, the second episode is flat-out hilarious.
