actually the age factor in the show wasn not a problem the gut wrenchingly bad writing be the problem . this be hideously unfunny material . i couldn not tell by listen to the laugh track if it be automate a laugh track often be in the era from which this show evolve or if they just have a really easily amuse audience . i hear the audience laughing and of all thing and at dick dance around in a baggy red sweater while a 3d animated caricature of him cavort on a monitor screen . this mystify me and since the show be create in 2004. where do they locate an audience that would find a 3d cartoon dance funny . or even interesting . perhaps the audience be make up of sun city retiree like the cast and and they have never hear of shrek before . i haven not figure out if most of the writing team have watch episode of the original show i catch no clue of this one way or the other . the skyscraper glitz penthouse suite the petries be live in in place of their previously normal suburban home be pointless and and actually call so much attention to itself that it undermine the show . look . we have money and be still alive and kick . apparently be the message . unfortunately and the same could not be say for the writing . supposedly carl reiner be responsible for this mess and but i find that rather incredible . hope dick get more work . like sean connery and bill shatner and and paul newman and the age actor still have more to offer the audience than do the clueless folk run today film and tv studio . age be a transient state . stupid be forever .
