I like Dane, I liked Gary G on Last Comic Standing, and I thought the premise of this had a great title, along with possibilities to spare. I've watched all the available episodes thus far (won't be watching any more, though), and I have to say that the great title is where it ends, folks.

The thing that's the most annoying is how the four of them keep fighting over the most petty things - that scene in the restaurant, for instance, when Gary was a little late and it was turned into some huge ridiculous power-play ego trip by the other 3. We could've done without that, and there have been other equally pathetic scenes that also should have been left out; the show is shamelessly self indulgent, and not in an endearing or creative way either.

The pacing is off, too - it just doesn't have the edge it should have. Instead it feels tired and tedious, with a gigantic 'so what?' factor, and we're not even rooting for them to kill onstage - at least I wasn't. Back to the drawing board on this one, guys.
