Wrong door? Wrong writing, wrong everything, except maybe phil the dino
Well. I have to say I’m rather with anonymouse, although I tend to give comedy shows a couple of episodes before forming an opinion. If we’re going to see a build of regular characters this might just work, but I don’t think urinating dinosaurs and swearing giant robots are going to provide long-running sources of humour. The mad army experiments definitely show promise, and the rifts on stupid technology (the dancing girl sketch) also show some promise.
