Is anyone else watching this? I find it stuck in a time warp, like a bunch of Bob Hope's radio comedy writers pitched a series on "these kids today with their computers." I've been dealing with college kids this term, and while their pop culture knowledge doesn't go back as far as I'd like, they don't mistake an answering machine for "a first generation iPod" or think an atlas is "Google maps printed out." (Actual dialogue from tonight's show (I won't dignify the lines with the word "jokes.")
I once read a description of Hope's late 60s specials that mentioned actors like Hope, Jackie Gleason, and Lucille Ball dressed as "hippies" and staggering around like drunken sailors after smoking marijuana. This show seems the 21st-century equivalent of that. Though, I suppose given CBS's demo, this seems like cutting-edge comedy. --Dave Sikula -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
