    Its on FX. I like this show. It cracks me up. Its kinda like a subtle Airplane style humour, Get Smart stupid hijinks on the beach. BJ and Notch are the best characters. A lot of word pun jokes. Sometimes the jokes are fast that you miss them, but get it later. The characters really play their character to a extreme stupid but funny limit. Its like Giligans Island brainless mentality. I think its going on its 3rd season now. Definitely is a cult hit to follow. This show is produced by Howard Stern and it was his brainchild. I am surprised its not on regular TV yet. Funny and clever show.

    I think the show is funny but a lot of Howard Stern fans seem to hate it.

    FX has already decided not to produce any more episodes. It's ratings are terrible.

    I love the end segments..."Oh, hey teens...Notch Johnson here....".

    Then it can't be too bad. Definitely a guilty pleasure though.

    Does anyone remember 'Dick Dietrick's Night Stand'? That was the first time I saw Tim Stack (Notch). It had the same goofy, mostly juvenile humor combined with loads of T&A and jokes pointed back at himself.

    I had read that it was the highest rated show on FX. Howard wasn't really disclosing why they were cancelling it.

    "Insiders said the decision was based primarily on the fact that FX is trying to move its brand in a different direction from where it was when "SOB" debuted in March 2000 as its first original scripted series....

    ...The finale on FX, however, may not necessarily mark the end of the show. The producers of "SOB" already are fielding interest from other basic cable channels to take on the show."

    I misspoke...my bad.

    It's not the ratings that were terrible, it's the demos.

    The show apparently costs "nothing" to make, and may appear elsewhere eventually.

    It'd be a natural on TNN right after RAW.

    I watch it sometimes but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it.
