Gaffigan just IS NOT remotely funny to me therefore this show is just as painful as open heart surgery. Others are all in and probably won't like this review but land of the free home of all the wrong people.

I'm loving this show, but I just checked Amazon and they have episode 9 The Bible story that aired September 9th. Why isn't it on Google Play yet?

Timing is everything, and Gafigan has great timing. Of course, having 5 kids in such quick succession helps the comedy write itself. I especially like Gafigan when he inserts just the right comment in a scene at just the right time. His ability to do so is what makes this episode so much fun because the themes of the scenes would otherwise be played. Impressive guest stars too.
