This was really awful

I remember this when it was originally on the air. I was living in a basement apartment using a small TV with rabbit ears and whatever channel this was on was the only channel I got, which was the only reason I ever even knew this show existed. Typical of many high-concept shows, it starts with the shred of an idea someone came up with after probably one too many cocktails, and voila, we have a stinker of a series. The writing was atrocious and all the actors were terrible, with special mention to Dick Christie as the father who was one step below everyone else at "abominable". Out of morbid curiosity I Netflixed a few episodes a year or two ago just to check and see if it was as bad as I had remembered. It was. I'll never check back again; I've learned my lesson.

score 2/10
