Not A Reality Show

This is one of the better shows on television and it is not a reality show. Once you realize that you are watching an outlined sitcom, you find yourself cracking up. Much in the same vain as Curb Your Enthusiasm, this show is a "what if" look at a rock legend as he goes from situation to situation, making us laugh all the way.

The acting isn't the greatest. Or is it? Even though it is a sitcom, you find yourself wondering if this is real or not. It's a great concept that is executed perfectly. Much better than The Osbornes and quickly finding its way into the same ballpark as Curb. Brilliant work from the God Of Thunder.

I hope A&E keeps it around for a while.
