Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, ). Some episodes are dumb. Others are doubled-over-and-crying-from-laughter funny. (Not surprisingly, the episodes in the latter category are all written by the show's creators. You have to wonder what they were thinking, handing a show like this show over to other writers.)
Objective Rating (Average):
