Review of When Things Were Rotten

This was a funny show, and I have fond memories or watching it. It was off the air before most of the people I knew had even seen it, although I do recall some schoolyard conversations about the show. Would love to see the show again to see if it is as funny as I recall. This may have been my first experience of realizing that good material doesn't mean the show will be popular. Police Squad died a similar death a few years later. Interesting that both shows later spawned successful movies. Maybe this kind of "stupid" humour is too smart for TV, or maybe it just reaches their expectations more clearly. Because there were a ton of unfunny comedies in that era that lasted much longer ...
