    Worst show since "20 Good Years." We can only hope KoP's run is shorter than 20GY.

    Absolutely terrible. Was this supposed to be a comedy? I didn't laugh once. I will never watch it again.

    What show did you other people watch? This is about as lame as it comes. The pitch said "Ocean's Eleven" meets "Taxi" - not even close. It's not abysmal only because a couple of the actors are good and the production values are quality. But GEEZ, so weak. This will not get me to switch from watching Deal or No Deal!

    Slow pitch humor... prolonged and predictable punch lines... and an insult to our intelligence. This is a fraud on the profession of comedians compared to quality shows that showcase witty and/or edgy writing like Arrested Development (RIP) or the Sarah Silverman show. I ask, how drunk or desperate do you have to be to green light such try-hard and derivative crap? And the characters?! Jebus! An ethnic cab driver and a fat black dude... oh wait and a hot-headed New Yorker! Someone earned a paycheck for this? Did Mick Jagger even watch the final product before pimping his name in this flabby attempt at comedy?… Expand

    "The Knights of Prosperity" is knee-slappingly and side-splittingly funny stuff, or as close to that as TV gets these days.

    Unfortunately, there's an excess of kooky cuteness here.
