Wow...I remember that, as a kid, I thought this was a really cool show. I was really disappointed when it got canceled.
Somehow, I stumbled onto the entire series (one season) being for sale on Amazon. I was excited, because I remembered the show as being funny, and I'm a Dom DeLuise fan.
I got the show, and it was brutally bad. It breaks a fundamental premise of TV shows in that not a SINGLE character on the show is likeable. The only one with redeeming qualities is the main character, Stanley Belmont, played by Dom DeLuise. But, even in his case, you're so annoyed with him for letting everyone walk all over him.
It's too bad, because you can see the comic potential in Dom DeLuise, but the format of the show was all wrong.
Definitely NOT a show worth reliving.moreless
