    haven't seen it ...

    ... would be nice to have an informative review. In Sci-Fi Chronicle (10-11/2000, Jeff Rovin), it says Meyer's character is pursued by a hit man from the U.S. Postal Service. Possibly a comic twist on Kevin Costner's lugubrious The Postman (1997). These were the halcyon days of postal sci-fi.

    I saw this show at a private festival. Avoid it.

    Brekin Meyer is always great (Road Trip) but this show is a total waste of time. Doesn't make any sense and even though the guy from Mr. SHow (a GREAT show) directed it, it looks like he should just act.
