A fairly enjoyable show

I, honestly, have never liked this show. That is not to say it isn't good, however; the humor merely never has appealed to me.

So, let's join Jerry Hubbard and Barth Gimble (starring Fred Willard and Martin Mull), in the town of Fernwood, Ohio. And, with them, is a mildly insane cast.

Happy Kyne and the Mirthmakers is the band that plays the songs as the show rolls on. Happy sometimes appears as a guest himself, telling absurd stories of his childhood.

Also comes Barth Gimble's father, with an unteachable dog, Louie. Louie is an astonishingly limp dog, that is almost certain to impress the viewers just because of how limp he can become.

In comes an amazing cast of characters, each with a little quirk that guarantees they are all at least SLIGHTLY insane. Vegitarians, salesmen, patriotic trumpet-players, acrobats, a hula-hooper, dancers, and women who want nothing more to please their husbands in very odd ways make up very entertaining characters, led by Barth Gimble and his quick wit, and his vaguely dense partner Jerry Hubbard.

They all come on as though it were a talk show, and when their turn is done, they sit on a couch, or, in some cases, wait in the rafters waiting for firefighters to get them down! While it may not appeal to everyone (myself included), it has a zany bunch of actors and actresses that are, at the very least, watchable.

9/10.
