"Raunchy humor will probably get bad reviews from people over 40 on here."
...that user comment sentence got under my skin. :) I'm 47, and I grew up with movies like Clerks, There's Something About Mary, South Park - The Movie, American Pie, as well as the fricking 80s - i.e. Porky's and its 6699 clones.
When comparing that sum of experiences to Bupkis, well, it lands somewhere in the middle. The show's funny, it has heart (which is way more important than being raunchy), I like Pete, and Joe Pesci alone is worth the watch - but it's not anything new under the sun. Maybe "people under 40" don't get to see any of that anymore, so they think it IS something original or "extra offensive".
By the way, I really enjoyed Wilfred, with that Hobbit guy. Go and see that show, too.
Back I digress. Aside from that comment about my age group (dunno if I would have a review without it), the show really has it's merits. Go, Pete.
