A truly original, fresh, and creative television series starring Chris Elliot. This is one of the genuinely funny and touching shows ever produced and at times is absolutely brilliant. Chris Elliot is admittedly an acquired taste but here he's superb even when he's at his most irritating. Chris's real life father Bob Elliot is amazing in the program and his dry delivery of lines stunningly hilarious. The most powerful aspect of the show is the father-son relationship and while being side-splitting it's also very moving. There is obviously real affection between these two men and it's reflected beautifully in the characters. Sadly, this series was short lived and wasn't given the chance it deserved. However, it remains a bright spot in the early days of Fox and a high point in television comedy history.
