Brilliant show, took me a few episodes to get into it. I love all the characters and the silly humor, good way to wind down and have a good laugh. Hope there will be season 2.

Loved it, loved every episode. Yes it’s silly – halfway through the first I wanted to turn off, but I stuck with it and glad I did.

It’s a comedy that knows it’s a comedy and it works. Very pythonesque and I hope there’s a second season.

I can’t see it ever being mainstream but it will gain a cult following without doubt.

This show is the vastest lake of honking slurry ever to have been pushed into the living rooms of any audience anywhere. Tired, witless and unlettered, it trades in Fantasy – a genre for the dateless if ever there was one. And the gags. Well, where were they? Single entendres just. won’t. cut. it. If warmed-over obviousness is your bag, you’ll love this. I suppose it all comes down to what you’re used to. If all you know is methylated spirits then a schooner of Algerian Cream Sherry or a glass of North Vietnamese hock will rock your palate. But for those of us used to the costlier vintages, this is baby sick from one sick baby. For shame!

i’m guessing you guys are all from the u.s.?

this show aired in the u.k. last night and it was a constant struggle between reaching for the remote and trying to give it a decent chance for me. the script was just awful and sounded like it had been written by a cadre of 13 year olds laughing at their own jokes (such jokes as there were anyway) without realising those jokes had been heard by everyone who ever lived when they were 13. the characters were weak and had obviously been put together on the back of a beermat at the end of a night of much drinking when such things seem funny. if it hadn’t been for matt lucas’s performance, this show could well have been pulled DURING its first episode.

maybe the problem is, this show is being aimed at the wrong market. it might play well around 17:00 when the school age teens (13-16) are tuning in, but it leaves an adult audience cold with its dumbed down, toilet based, far too obvious sniggering.

don’t know how, at what time, or to what audience it plays in the u.s.

Am I the only one smoking crack or am I the only one who isn’t?
This is show is awful!
Upon watching the first two episodes of this show all I could think was, “remember that show, ‘That’s My Bush’, yea that show was just as bad as this one.”

Cool that David Koechner posted here though, just seeing that dudes face makes me laugh.

Ok, so I was kind of against this show based solely on the travesty of “Meet the Spartans” but I must admit that I was very wrong. The show is GREAT! It has a subtle humor that hits you after watching a few episodes and it is fast-paced enough to not bore you enough to change the channel at the first real commercial break.

As always, Matt Lucas plays an awesomely hilarious role! The whole cast is just great and I really, really, REALLY hope that Comedy Central gives it a chance. The writing could be a tad better…but then that also makes me laugh.

Dongalor forever!

I Have seen bits of this. It’s very silly, but I’m not really onboard yet.

Great review.

This show is growing on me as well. I especially like the character Zezelryck. Kevin Hart is hilarious in this role… perfect for it. I find myself rewinding the DVR to watch his facial expressions again, they’re that funny! The part where he tosses the change on the floor in the season finale… well played, Zez, well played.

Oh, man.

This show is silly as hell, but I love it. First couple episodes were a little slow, but I’ve been increasingly amused.

Lucas as Dongalor is definitely one of my new favorite villains.

Ok BAADASSSSS,

A fair enough shot at The Naked Trucker & T-bones show, but it did not turn out as I had hoped either. I would change a lot of things about the show but am proud of many things that we did do.

Sometimes you get seduced by an opportunity and convince yourself that it is all going to be okay. A little compromise here, a choice not to fight there, and the next thing you know you have produced a show that no one is completely happy with. Except some people in charge who never knew what they were doing in the first place.

I even offered to speak with the executives after the whole thing took a shit just so they could learn from all of the mistakes. I was told “we don’t really do that”, and then she said, “I’m going skiing this weekend in Aspen”

And then I thought, “the dog shit on my art project and I still had to show the whole school”.

stay Bad

best,
David Koechner
