Why doesn't Comedy Central show this more often?
8 April 2004
I was lucky enough to catch an all episode marathon (read: 5) of this show a couple months ago on quite late at night. At first, I didn't know what to make of it but after seeing the Andes/Bolivia episode I knew that this had risen to my top ten TV show list. The show is in the "mockumentary" style of Christopher Guest's movies (Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind) and Rob Reiner's Spinal Tap. The humor isn't always spot on, but the humorous repetition of certain gags is reminiscent of The Simpsons.

I was quite surprised to see that the show was produced by the same people that produced Crank Yankers and The Man Show. Another commentator mentioned that there are obvious correlations in the humor, but aside from a couple genital jokes it's pretty clean and not as course as that of the other Comedy Central shows. If you're lucky enough to catch an episode, and appreciate dry, off-color wit, I'm sure you'll enjoy the show! I taped a couple of shows when I had the chance because it's not the easiest show to explain: you just have to see it. And those I've shown it to have been quite pleased!
