The planned middle film in this franchise, the equivalent of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, featuring key scenes behind a Subway condiment station, would have been the game changer.

"Evil Dead" existed long before the TV version.

Also, designating 172 witches and demons is too obvious a contrivance to try and sustain the premise. Why not have the enormity of the evil be discovered along the way ala the original "Ghostbusters" as opposed to just setting up a checklist? Redundancy will set in most assuredly as this is deploying a "My Name is…

I've seen read a few more reviews with comments like "light" and "moderately amusing" which is peculiar for any genre entry deigned to be violent and edgy. While it decidedly wasn't scary, the show also wasn't particularly funny whereas Bruce Campbell invariably makes me laugh out loud. The leading man's acting as…

Straight to series orders don't shoot pilots, shooting the first episode concurrently with the others. For low budget shows, two directors implies they were shooting at an accelerated pace. I've seen it done on ITV series.

Critics are often wrong, but what's disheartening is some reviewers seemed inclined to like this and didn't. One compared it to Scooby Doo.

Early reviews for "Stan" are scathing so far. If they wanted a horror comedy TV series, why not seek out Edgar Wright and try "Shaun of the Dead" as an episodic show as opposed to copying Raimi's realm?

I'm perplexed why "Stan Against Evil" exists since "Ash Vs. Evil Dead" already is a thing and is decidedly comedic.

The actual episodes of this series, much like the original "Police Squad!" that it's based on, are eroding in the ratings. I personally don't think the series sustains well. Here in the UK, this series is reviled, especially compared to the superior "A Touch of Cloth."

Subtitles and dubbing in a foreign language certainly helps set a different tone from what I was expecting, unless the person assembling this footage is particularly deft.

The magazine cover matching the scene it's within was done on Python.

ANGIE TRIBECA steals a plethora of jokes from POLICE SQUAD and SLEDGE HAMMER to name just a few. Here in the UK the response to it has been overwhelmingly negative.

The podcast is the better format for this style of show, unless you're blind. There were public access shows from years ago that honestly achieved what this earnestly tries for. While I'm biased, Ali-G's interviews still resonate more than these attempts.

Legions bemoan the lack or originality and risk taking on television, so kudos to Bochco for taking a huge swing with such audacity.

I don’t enjoy this show for the reasons described in this review; it’s not particularly funny and doesn’t seem interested in ever making us laugh. And there are now too many eponymously named sitcoms from third tier comedians like George Lopez and Rob Schneider. Next up, COOK!

Those are some fascinating anecdotes, but I believe you're referring to Leonard Stern that served as a "Creative Consultant" on "Sledge Hammer!"

This is a very influential show that's been heavily imitated.

Then perhaps you can revise your statement. He called the show "hilarious" and gave a cogent explanation why ratings were terrible and it was officially canceled after only a few episodes.

7 episodes is more than Police Squad ran. He wasn't ragging on it, more explaining how he'd sold the same network on Sledge Hammer after that show had just failed.

"Casted?"
