viewer comments…
Avoid—I watched this one time on Comedy Central (CourtTV would make more sense). It was the bathroom episode, where the guy gets trapped in a bathroom by a paranoid perp with two guns and no knowledge of the English language. It was pretty good, I thought, until the cop got a call from his wife…then one from his girlfriend, thus making the main character a practicing adulterer. That made me suddenly feel no sympathy for him. If it wasn't for that, I'd possibly watch it. Still, it is the only episode I've seen, so who knows what other bad stuff is in the show?
