ABC's latest attempt to revive the comedy series is a massive bust with The Knights of Prosperity. The series features Sofia Vergara, ABC's go to female for comedies for no apparent reason, Donal Logue, star of Grounded for Life (speaking of awful sitcoms) and Kevin Michael Richardson, a man who has done more voiceover work than most people have taken math tests.
Mick Jagger is playing around with a little boy in this series, a little Chinese boy. If this sounds like something that is up your alley then you are probably going to love this show, if not, then you, like me, hated it.moreless
