Way to steal money from Showtime.

This was possible one of the worse things i have ever seen. Like I seriously don't know where to start, everything was so cringe worthy. The jokes were so horrible, the script was terribly written, the lines were so obvious it felt like everything was just copy and pasted from elsewhere.

The script feels like Jamie Foxx wrote tn in the 90's and stashed it in his sock draw and forgot about it. Now that Hollywoods desperate-Era of making remarks is coming to and end, the new trend is "failed television pitches from the 90's". I'm not surprised that they green-lit this.

Let's not Forget Tom Kapinos…

Yeah Californiacation was great...until the third season after that you just turned it into soft-core porn. You use the same characters in all your shows, the only difference is their name tags change. The only way you keep the viewers intrigued is by having a sex scene every five minutes. Cheap way to get the viewers' attention Tom, Maybe porn is your new calling. I heard they now heavenly invest in writers.

Showtime, to save your credibility as a decent production company, don't give them a second season.
