Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com Once positioned as the first show that could really compete with "Saturday Night Live," it never quite fulfilled its potential but I think it's the kind of thing that audiences could find and respect in the future. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 11, 2018 Full Review Chris Ball Cleveland Plain Dealer The first cast is easily the best, and they are kicking it into gear by the second season, in 1996-97.
