I'd say the problem isn't so much in the comedy as it is in the viewer these days. I think soon we'll have to start adding ritalin to the water supply.
Most comedy runs way past its premise. The early 90's weren't exactly halcyon days with Victoria Jackson or Rob Schneider stretching a joke to its breaking point.
That said, this really did drag on. But no one can give John Goodman less than four stars for anything but King Ralph.
I'm glad that Mike Rose (from Channel 101 shows like Classroom) continues to get paychecks for playing the same stereotypical gay characters, but this wasn't very clever or funny.
