I got a preview copy of the first two episodes in the mail, but could only get through the first. It sucked hard. The only thing funny about it is hearing Will Forte’s voice.

Yeah, unfortunately, this show was never meant to be a hit. If it does decently than if anything FOX will hold the 8 remaining episodes and order a few more for a second season but don’t expect anything after that. The series is meant to fail. Next year will be all about The Cleveland Show, and i’ll bet that could be a hit.

The reviews are more brutal than that clip suggests. Check google news for all the “failing grade” jokes in the headlines.
I’m still gonna watch. Critics do tend to be a bit out of step with regard to comedy. In any case Simpsons, Family Guy, and American Dad all had horrible first episodes and are now the only decent network shows.
craigward, I agree. If you compare Simpsons or AD to other network tv shows, you’ll see that they aren’t as bad as the critics say.

I loved it. It made a half hour seem like a little piece of eternity dropped in my lap.
I’m no expert, but isn’t comedy supposed to be, you know, funny?

It SUUUCKED! It was like a fith grader wrote it, O the drama teacher is gay, thats not very original. In fact the whole show was just one tired stereo type after another. Hey, next why not make a cop show about an older by the book cop and his partner a young and impulsive rooky that doesn’t follow the rules… O and be sure to weed out and jokes that are actually funny.

I thought this show would be funny, but I found it terrible. I can’t remember any of the characters or one memorable line. The “I need a catchphrase” line was awful. This show won’t last.

I’m on the fence about this show.
the little nutsack joke: not funny
“I need a catchphrase” joke: funny
German teacher named Deutschbog: not funny
Hofftard selling out Deutschbog’s porno addiction: funny
Miracle Groeh: not funny
“The Baiters win the game! The Baiters win the game! The Baiters win the game! ~ the Baiters lost the game – Yeah i don’t know why I thought they would count that..”:hilarious
I’m optimistic. I can say for sure, though, that this show will get funnier. Keep watching. Don’t give up yet.
Yes! Just as I expected.
