What an embarrassment!
Hammy improv-style acting of unfunny scripts depicting various moments in history
A few name actors ... Danny DeVito, Wanda Sykes, Marla Gibbs, Kym Whitley, Rob Corddry ... get stuck in this mess but most of the cast are a bunch of nobodies who likely have Youtube shows or something of that ilk.
While Mel Brooks' original 1981 movie was one of his worst, this TV series makes that film look like a masterpiece.
I barely made it through the first episode. Schmucky schtick about Abraham Lincoln, Rasputin, Shakespeare and a Russian shtetl (with inane musical numbers) make this just about unwatchable.
