This review is from: Action Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
This was unbelievably risque for something before the turn of the most recent century. By far the best thing Jay Mohr's ever done. Preposterously, in-your-face funny, just too far ahead of its time to catch on enough to have the series continued, I imagine. Now, 12 years later, this could air on Fox and be a huge hit.
