As far as comedies go, I feel Super Troopers is underrated. Don't laugh but I also liked Beerfest.

Dmitry said...

did you watch the entire Wire series?

Adam Kaplan said...

1) Yes, I did watch the ENTIRE Wire series
2) I liked Beerfest too, but it was what it was- average. I won't fault you if it was a guilty pleasure but it's nowhere CLOSE to these categories

You do to Borat what ESPN does to Derek Jeter. It wasnt even a top 5 comedy, let alone #2

And you rank TV shows like baseball writers vote for MVP! Poorly!
