Three sheets is the best show that no one without access to HDTV has ever heard of. Zane Lamprey brings a level of dignity and humor to drunkenness that hasn't been seen since, dare I say it: Dean Martin. The Belgium episode is a must-see for any beer geek (like myself) and every episode provides you with an opportunity to drink, learn, be merry, and root Zane on as he journeys through yet another fascinating locale. He gets sauced, banters, zings, and even disturbs, but damn if he isn't the most likable guy you'll ever see on television. You'll never find a better drinking buddy. So grab a drink, get Steve McKenna'd, and enjoy!

This show is really about Adam West. His deadpan delivery and obliviousness to his own shortcomings (or maybe it's denial, tough to tell from just one episode) is really what fuels the comedy here. It's campy and hilarious, but it's mostly a specific type of humor and while there are some jokes that deviate from this basic strategy, the show is not a conventional sitcom (which relies heavily on one-liners). The show is about characterization, specifically that of Lookwell. If you see him interacting with someone for 30 seconds and don't find it funny, it's not for you. If you like West's portrayal as Mayor West on Family Guy, you'll probably find this pilot hilarious and I'd recommend trying to find it online.

Despite good performances and solid direction, this movie leaves you wholly unsatisfied because essentially nothing climactic or surprising happens to tie it all together in the end.

The conflicts between the various characters resolve themselves all too easily, as does the problem Daltry is having with his failing empire. The ending leaves you feeling that once the script hit 100 pages, the screenwriter just decided to finish things off.

Worth seeing for solid performances by Knoxville and newcomer Sophie Traub, but overall it just feels like a good idea that never develops fully.
