I felt the same way the first time I saw South Park: a show that's offensive for the sake of being offensive. But that show quickly developed a voice that allowed it to be both offensive and deliver poignant satire at the same time.

HBO needs to stick with shows developed by New Zealanders (that's what they're called, right?) and avoid the Australians like babies avoid dingos.

You can't treat your entire life like a Radio 4 panel show.
Bzzt—yes, you can!

Oh, the Brits and their panel shows. When will they learn? The only way I'll watch this is if they get Rob Brydon as a regular panelist.
