    Good but weird

    I really used to enjoy this show. It was fast-paced and quirky. Just about anything could happen at any time. One episode in particular stands out. They had a coupon book and they had to use every coupon in order.

    It was one of the weirder episodes.

    I was sad when they canceled it. My wife and I liked it as one of the freaky weekend shows. You know, like X-files and American Gothic. I barely remember the girl in the show. She was no Jessica Alba, but I think she was hot. To me, Jake Busey made the show because he was so freaky and yet confident about it.

    Vern was the bartender.

    I think they had a band but I'm really not sure. I remember them wearing zoot suits for some reason.

    Brilliant!

    The best new show of the season, "Shasta Mc Nasty" may very well be one of the funniest sitcoms of recent years. I've always been a fan of Jake Busey and I think he has finally found his vehicle with this outrageous, undefinable instant classic, and the other cast members are equally fantastic.

    Avoid this show at all costs if you are not looking for an over the top, irreverent romp that packs more laughs per minute than the best of the Marx Brothers' films, a comedy team which the Shasta boys resemble quite a bit.

    I urge people to watch and support this show before it is too late, as I fear this film may be too outrageous and ahead of its time to survive on Network TV.

    Brilliant Off-beat Show

    A completely under-rated show. Now called "Shasta" for some reason - probably because the "McNasty" part was turning off too many people (like me). This show is every bit as funny as "The 70s Show" and "Futurama". I always find myself laughing out loud at something. I really hope it gets renewed for another year. Anyone who likes to laugh owes it to themself to watch this show at least once. The addition of Vern as a major character is great. He is a complete riot. Jake Busey is stellar every show too - as is the entire cast.

    Irreverent and funny.

    Irreverent show that was very funny mainly because of the stupidity of the main characters.

    I remember watching this show when it first came out via Sony Entertainment Television Latin America.

    I never missed it because every single episode had clever writing, funny acting, and best of all; the characters made fool out of themselves.

    It's a shame it didn't last more than one season because it mixed with success the craziness of late 90's with some elements such as black humor and afro American oriented humor.

    I can't think of another show like this one because it captured the essence of late 90's comedy.

    Bring it back on DVD. It's not cult classic but it's surely a very original show.

    My favorite episode dealt with the death of a clown. Oh, it was hilarious. You know what I'm talking about.

    This was a funny show.

    When I saw the first ad for Shasta McNasty, I thought that it looked stupid. Then, I watched the first episode and I was still laughing after it finished. The acting was fantastic, the sets were very cool, and my favorite character was Vern, played by Verne Troyer a.k.a. Mini Me from the second Austin Powers movie. I really liked this show and I was very disappointed that UPN cancelled it. I hope that they bring it back one day.
