[pyro_xombie]

heres my opinion about assy, i can watch it if im drunk and its 4:30 in the morning and outher then that mabie when nothing elce is on and ill get a few laughfs but outher then that i strongly belive that there are wa better shows on the comedy block. Like i said good for a few laughs outher then that its trash.

Why not just make a comedy about a gun-toting Stallone-esque cop that consistently violates his code as an officer?

the cop parody thing has been done a million times, and is not a very challenging one to write. Simply turning the main character into an a.s.s. is not a funny twist. Plus the completely random, inane plots show that the writers either can't come up with a real, cohesive cop story, or are too lazy to do so, which of course for an adult swim show isn't really necessary, but it only highlights the other massive weaknesses in the writing.

You want a real serious type cop show on a comedy block? Why?

---

No, but the absence of a story that makes any sense only highlights the other weaknesses of the writing.

Hey, it could've been worse. From what I understand, in the original cut, Assy wan't supposed to speak English, rather, he communicated through farting...

It has a story, Assey is a cop and he with his partner are a couple of above the law cops who bend the laws to get the job done or not done at all. It sounds better in theory then say a trio of talking fast food that live in a house, have a next door neighbor and weird characters appear. We both know that show turned out alright.

In the end it makes me laugh, asseys voice, the boss, the crimes that seem to go unsolved or just forgotten. I like it.

I thought Assy ** rabble ** but it did improve as the season went on.  The first episode of this season is actually quite funny.

That's more the premise of the show. Every show ever created has a premise, or it else there wouldn't be a show. I just find the writing on the show to be extremely lazy and unfunny. It does get a couple laughs here and there from the corny mock one liners delivered by Assy, but that's about it.

Can you give me a specific example from this weeks episode that you find lazy or bad?

[axegorilla]

I'm not going to waste my time watching it.

Also, I remember having a big let down when first watching Assy because I heard or thought I heard Jon Glaser during the pilot bumps before its airing.
