Unless your idea of great comedy is watching a skit where WW2 GI's in a LST on the DDay invasion take turns throwing up in their helmets, from sea sickness and nerves. I'm a huge Mel Brooks fan. The Producers, Blazing Saddles, and Young Frankestein were three of the greatest and funniest comedic films ever made. At age 96, I have to wonder how much Mel Brooks actually contributed to this unfunny mess, other than getting a credit as one of many EP's and a writing credit. Perhaps he wrote a joke or two. I have no idea of who most of these actors are-a few people have mentioned they are improv "comedians"-in any case they're not very good comedic actors, but then again the material is awful. Two episodes and out.
Mel-you should have gone out on a high note, with your reboot of The Producers as musical for the stage and as a film. Saw both productions. Funny stuff and true entertainment.
