Anyone seen this show?

I like Coach McGuirk the best. And my favorite episode is Honkey Magoo.

Love that show. It's funny and cute. I enjoy the movies the kids make they crack me up. Last night the stocker one was on and they did a woody allen type movie. McGuirk is funnny but I realy enjoy the childern in the show the most. The two boys that dress a like are super cute in a geeky sort of way that I find endearing. Sorry I'm a free form thinker who hasn't slept much in the last few day. I know this post is rambling and alittle vage. But yes I've seen and enjoyed that show very much. :D

The first few episodes were drawn using "Squigglevision", a la Dr. Katz.

I like this show a lot. I try to watch this every chance I get. What I like the most in this show is how natural the dialog is. It doesn't sound like it was written on a script, it sounds like the characters are having real down-to-Earth conversations (I know that the first season episodes had loose dialog, but the rest were actually written on a script). I like the episode where McGuirk is getting drunk and having a conversation with the school nurse. Here is the dialog via http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0197159/quotes (Am I allowed to do this? If not, I'll delete this post).

Coach McGuirk: [drunk] You wanna know something? *Anyone* can become a soccer coach. Like, they don't regulate. Like you have to get a degree, right? So you're qualified.
Nurse Kirkman: Yes... I do have a degree.
Coach McGuirk: Yeah, I'm not. You can become coach, of a sport that you don't care about, you don't know how to play, you're not good with kids. But I have had the job for three years. You'd think that they would check up but they don't.

Yes, as you can see I like McGuirk too.

I watch it to pass the time but I don't really care for it.
I would say I enjoy McGuirk's wisdom but thats all I like out of it.

I liked the show that was the inspiration for it -- Dr. Katz. Got a real kick out of it.
