I was ready to hang with this awful movie because I chuckled once every 10 minutes-at the repo men(very funny) and the potentially lesbian wife (somewhat funny) but when it got around to testicular cancer as humor I knew when to pull the ripcord.

Who can help me with this? I just saw my first ever episode of this show on USA and rather than Washington, they appear to be working at a small-town newspaper. Is this one of those "the-pilot-wasn't-that-great-so-let's-completely-rework-it-into-a-new-theme" things?

I almost hate to give this movie a decent rating, simply because it might encourage Hollywood to make more of its type. They almost never work, and yet this one does. I think the reason is that the movie doesn't take itself very seriously at all, and any message it sends is sort of hidden among the entertainment, unlike many movies like this which take about 5 minutes in the third act to take the figurative baseball bat and bash you in the head with the "moral of the story". The movie is gratuitously sexy and funny ("I love that dog."/"I think it's a pig, Billy Bob."/"Yeah.") and harmless.
