I was looking forward to it in a "so bad it's good" sorta way. Not funny, but an interesting Allen Gregory-ish carwreck.
Then the first shot was an overhead view of St. Louis. When I screamed "NOOOOO" at the TV, I frightened my dog.

What's wrong with St. Louis?

I'm assuming that Clash lives in St. Louis, unless the Cardinal nation is for Arizona.
Anyway, my first though when I read the thread title was "why?"

What's wrong with St. Louis? That's where he's from. Obviously something as wretched as that taking place in your city makes your town look like kind of a joke. Even though they just won a World Series. ;D |

I was hoping it would get cancelled after the Cold Open, but that wasn't the case!

Ok, so it was bad and it wasn't funny- and I really didn't feel like MST3K-ing it.
I remember making a thread a while back where I griped about pop culture nowdays being too genre savvy, but this show isn't anywhere near genre savvy enough. The premise requires every other supporting character to be a complete idiot- Danny Trejo and Jason Statham would be more convincing in drag than the two protagionists.
On top of that, the character dynamic is beyond stale (befuddled husband, down to earth wife, snarky kid, wacky friends at bar- at least Seth McFarlane will give you something unusual, like a baby scientist or a talking bear) and the jokes barely even register as jokes. There's one scene where they're dancing at a club and at that point you expect a punchline or just something interesting to happen, but nothing doing.
Why do you hate my hometown, ABC?

Did anybody honestly expect this show to be any good?

I saw it open with the Arch and I am thinking this is so gonna turn off people from coming to STL which is a shame since it's a pretty cool place.

Go next door, ask your neighbor to punch you in the balls while his wife screeches in your ear at full volume, same experience.

I didn't see it, but, I read up on it, and it strikes me as "Bosom Buddies" meets a car wreck
