It’s crude, crass, lewd, and extremely sexist. And I love it too! 😛 ---

The android sex slave reminds of Renee… in a very much fantasy sort of way. (She’s one of my favorite exGFs.) The proportions are generously exaggerated, but not so far off as to be unbelieveable. (Just like Renee. She was 5"00", 34DD-21-32, and big brown eyes. Shame she was such a bitch, tho 😛 ) The stories are incredible! I had been avoiding it because I thought it would just be totally stupid. Not so, I now know. ---

I thought the original cartoon was hysterical. A couple of days ago I caught the very end of an episode on TV and was flabbergasted. I had no idea this had been picked up, and am rather surprised it was – it was so dang funny in large part because it was so inappropriate. I’m going to try to catch some episodes and watch them (late at night after the kids are abed…). Anyone else? How’s the series compare to the original toon? ---

I love this show. Surprisingly, my dad does too. He usually hates nearly everything I like. ---

I. Love. This. Show. “It takes a long time and hard work to become a man! There’s drinking and whoring and screwing, and then more drinking, and then if there’s time, more screwing!” 😛 ---

I love the show, too. But then, I would. ---

I am quite amused by this show as well. ---

It’s alright. I’d rather watch it then most other TV shows, it’s rarely laugh out loud funny. More amusing then anything else. I think partially, I keep comparing subconciosuly it to an older show called “Lexx” which was somewhat similar and better done, I feel.
