I'll have to revisit it again down the road. I watched two episodes, both
of which featured Doug Benson, deeply stoned, and deeply unfunny. I found
it uncomfortable to watch. I'm not making a judgment call. People smoke
pot, but some pot smokers aren't funny, and though people I respect
disagree, Doug Benson is one of them. I found his smug, baked smirk
obnoxious, and his comments below the level I expect for a show following
Stewart and Colbert. Greg Proops can perform while wasted. Doug Benson
can't. And since he seems to be the show's Charles Nelson Reilly, I think
the series might not be for me.
