    Candy coated dross

    On the Rocks was based on the British sit-com Porridge. Compared to Porridge On the Rocks is trivial. Porridge had both the horribleness of prison as well as the human spirit of the inmates, Whilst being very funny there was still a seething dark undercurrent. On the Rocks was a summer camp in comparison.
