Reception
editDavid Knox from TV Tonight rated the series 2 out of 5 stars stating the series has underwhelming gags and dated humour however doesn’t believe it’s one of the worst comedies.[6] Anthony Morris from Screen Hub Australia rated the series 2½ out of 5 stars stating the series is a huge cliche and relies too much on sex jokes.[7]
