Mick is playing Sweet Dee’s even less successful identical cousin from Rhode Island. It has potential, but absolutely no actual as yet. ---

I was over at the mall a week or two before this premiered, and ads for it kept popping up on the LCD ad kiosks all throughout the mall. ---

I just remembered this thread so I thought I’d come back to say they lost me about five minutes in to the third episode. I thought, “Yeah the Dope is right. This is shit”. 🙂 The first episode I laughed. The second wasn’t that great, but I still had hope I guess. But something about the beginning of that third episode just grossed me out. It was so desperate. I don’t know. Really bad though. ---

I told the DVR to skip the third episode. No turning back! ---

There’s occasionally a funny bit here or there, but overall it’s not very good and I spend most of the episode just looking at the pretty niece. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-mick-not-a-good-show/776316.md?page=1)
