Parks & Recreation looks like Fawlty Towers next to this dreck. Ugh. I am stupider for having sat through this show.
We make some shows that stink. Most actually.
Wow. That was just god-awful. There’s really no excuse for how terrible that was.
That’s okay, you guys made Farscape, which was frelling awesome, that gives you an excuse…this time 
I went out Sunday night, and kind of felt like a hag when I caught myself thinking, Oh no, I’m going to miss the new shows on the TeeVee Machine. Then the following day I asked the spouse how was the show, to which he grimaced and replied, “Awful.” There seems to be a consensus here - didn’t miss anything.
Good, we have a name. Loose the hounds!
I’m a bit surprised at how bad it was, because Hurwitz has a pretty good resume.
I’m with you, Wile E.
This was awful, but at least managed ‘ignore while waiting for the next show to start’ awful, not ‘oh, dear goddess turn it off, quick!’ awful like KotH.
On the other hand, American Dad looked awful when it first debuted, and it’s now the highlight of the Sunday block, so…maybe it’ll shape up into something fun.
Maybe.
The two minutes of American Dad that focused on the turtle and the hare’s race was miles funnier than any part of SDSU.
I think it tried way, way too hard. It shotgunned “jokes” at us a mile-a-minute, so much so that even though I remember chuckling a few times and even barking a laugh once, I can’t remember which attempts succeeded among the onslaught of dung.
I guess that’s my way of saying that I thought it was a pretty poor showing, but I didn’t loathe it the way everyone else here seems to have. 2/10. (I’d say 2.5, but really, if you can’t pick an integer out of 10 options, you’re just being silly. So 2 it is.)
It was also funnier than anything in the first several episodes of AD. AD shaped up. So I’m not willing to write off anything that wasn’t horrible enough to have me leaping for the remote control, for at least a couple more episodes.
Not having seen the American version, the (live-action) sitcom got yanked after half a season in Australia. Rightly, too - the big surprise was that it was axed by Channel 10 in 2001 when they were showing pretty much anything they could get their hands on to fill in time between Simpsons re-runs.
That said, considering the abominable American versions of good TV shows, I shudder to think what you’ve made of this one.
I chuckled a few times. More than i did at Parks and recreation.
I caught the first minute or two due to post-Simpsons DVR spillover - I did want to see it but didn’t realize it was premiering on Sunday. What I did see was just painfully awful, shockingly so given the people who were involved. If Will Arnett is onscreen (even in voiceover form) for a full minute and I don’t laugh once, something is wrong. The last time I saw something that unfunny was the pilot for The Winner.
