Who’s Gonna Train Me?
I got a fight coming up! Whoo!
Acceptable TV. Sofa King best. Even though your Uncle Grambo felt a little bit burned when the creators of the show inexplicably euthanized my beloved Operation Kitten Calendar, there’s no denying that the show’s first season was as hilarious as it was groundbreaking. Over the course of eight episodes, no less than 10 instantly classic pilots¹ found their way onto the airwaves and The Internets. Too bad the audience only saw fit to renew a handful of them, once again proving my long-standing belief that Mark Twain is full of shit. Familiarity breeds contempt? Not so much, not in the Double Ohs, and certainly not in the case of Mr. Sprinkles (a great concept that your Uncle Grambo felt ran out of steam after Episode 3).
¹ Here are my ten fave skits from Season One. One caveat: it pained me to no end to leave Lord Of The Phils and Gar The Unbearable off the list.
- Operation Kitten Calendar. KISS MY ASS!
- Who’s Gonna Train Me?
- Kosbees (aka, House Of Cosbys redux). Rudy Theo!
- Medical Hospital. The pulse is, um, the heart is pulsed!
- Homeless James Bond. A weapon … with a twist!
- Balloonies (no idea why this never made it to air)
- Joke Chasers. Hot. Buttered. Popcorn!
- Drunk Home Makeover. Oh, the timekeeper?
- Shady Acres. Well well well, if it isn’t Dildo and Boner!
- Who Farted?. Jump with me, jump with me!

Jesus hell, Shady Acres and Joke Chasers should have run at least 3 or 4.

Sure, Who Farted was pretty hilermo, but nothing tops the OKC, IMHO. My blog got mad hits on the days I posted that shizz. A fine bit of tipstering, Uncs.
