The Mullets

You know... This isn't to bad from a network thats main point of revenue is WWE programming such as Smackdown! and 15 other shows recapping Smackdown. Actually, this isn't bad from any point of view. Mindless entertainment you say? Well yes and no. Sure you have to suspend a bit of belief in believing the familys last name is also reflecting the two sons hair styles made popular in the 1980's Heavy Metal scene. But if a show can entertain me in it's first three episodes, then I am definately hooked. And in a day covered with reality tv, it is safe to say there isn't a lot for people like me to watch.

Having just watching the pilot episode and the second, I am thoroughly enjoyed and have something to cover that less than spectacular Tuesday night slot, and with my 3rd episode make and break coming up I am sure this show will make. But I can see right now that this will only last 3 seasons at most... because, well, it seems ever since The Job, every show I've liked since barely makes it past the first season.

Mullets looks fun and goofy, the kind of silly/smart comedy that has been overlooked by the networks for too long. I, for one, am looking forward to it.

As far as the previous comment about Loni Anderson being "roped" in, I feel pretty sure she DID get to read the script before signing a deal.

I'll watch almost anything with Loni Anderson (ALMOST anything). But so far this show with it's laugh track at maximum setting is only tolerable if I tape it and skip over the non-Loni bits - which is most of it. I assume that someone must desperately hope that lines such as, "You are", "No I'm not", "Yes you are", "No I'm not" might be thought of by someone as funny. I am not that person. Why do I suspect this will run 4 episodes max?

Remember when "My Mother the Car" was considered the worst TV show of all time? Well, welcome to the cable age when there are myriad shows that make that old Jerry Van Dyke stinker seem positively Shakespearian by comparison.

MULLETS is inept. MULLETS is only funny when it isn't supposed to be. It's stupid. It sucks. It sucks. It sucks. Even for an "indie" network (as in WB, Fox, or UPN), which have generally low quality programing, this is a low point.

MULLETS is way beyond "bottom-of-the-barrel" programming. You'll find it somewhere in the slime beneath that barrel - there with the creepy crawlies and other loathsome things.

And, no doubt, the cretins behind MULLETS will soon have another series on the air. Yet another reason to turn off the TV and pick up a good book.

I watched the episode that had "Stephanie" the stunt woman and I thought she just shined over the other cast members.Some of the dialog was quite witty and the story line actually had a moral to it. I hope the Stephanie character shows up in future episodes. It would be a real boost to the show.
