I give this show 1 out of 10. It is yet another pathetic attempt by CBC to make comedy for geezers. I recognize Ron James from countless other TV shows and programs and specials over the years and I actually remember seeing him do stand up comedy specials on TV years ago that I actually enjoyed watching. The problem is his comedy never changed and now he's super old and annoying, telling jokes you know the punchlines to, and desperately waving his arms around while loudly talking at 6000 words per minute in an effort to trick us into laughing. That is just the bad stand up comedy bits and those are actually the least objectionable parts of the show. The skits are so terrible I can't even watch. The Little Ronny cartoons are terrible and unfunny and don't even have a point, it's like somebody smoked a pound of crack and then tried to make a cartoon. I'm sure it's funny to whoever made it, but why do I want to watch a cartoon kid with a creepy old man head sit at a kitchen table and occasionally swear for two minutes with no discernible jokes? This show just plain stinks. Another loser for CBC who can't seem to shake themselves of the habit of putting really old people on TV long after they were funny at all. I'm guessing whenever they finally get rid of this show they'll just bring back Air Farce. I pretty much give up on CBC.
