If you've got 10 or so writers in the room, somebody can usually think of a decent joke to replace a weak joke. If you have two or three writers working on a show, well, they can only think up so many decent jokes. For example, South Park is one of Comedy Central's biggest shows, has a half dozen writers, (or at least they did back when "Six Days to Air" was filmed) and they still only do 10 episode seasons. As for Angie Tribeca, I don't think Jones quite has the Leslie Nielsen vibe quite down. Nothing against her personally, it's just that half the fun of something like Airplane! or Police Squad! is watching serious actors saying silly things in a serious tone of voice. It's just not quite the same having comedic actors saying silly things while acting serious, but that's a minor complaint.

Air is lava! posted:Okay. I realize that this is a stupid and terrible thing to get hung up on, but was that just stupid random nonsense, or is kangaroo meat actually illegal in the US? That stuff is delicious and healthy. And it's not like kangaroos are endangered. 30 seconds of googling, and apparently kangaroo meat is legal in the US, except for California.
