Im sure its no surprise that I completely disagree. Jason Lee and Jamie Presley I think are 2 extremely talented actors who have a knack for knowing whats funny. Jamie Presley gets type-casted often as poor white trash, but she really does the character so well and is so funny doing it, I dont think anyone could do the part better or funnier than she can.
Im not sure how the trailors were able to affect your opinion of the writing to such a strong absolute, I just hope you might be able to soften your first impression from the trailors just once and give the show a chance, because its often quite difficult for people to take such a strong opinion as valid when one hasn't even seen the show. Plus, you may even enjoy it if you allow yourself room to. Or you may prove yourself right. Whatever the case, seeing the show and then having an opinion is much easier for me then to understand, accept and respect your opinion.
