A live-action, extraordinarily short, new, clean, and (only by the standards of this month’s column) genuinely funny show about a family consigned to the witness protection program who move to NYC so that they can star in a reality TV show by the same name (as the real one, I mean). They (Dad’s name: Jon) are forced to wear black, robber-type ski masks at all times (at least as far as we can tell) and Jon, at least, speaks with a clearly fake vocal affect that is both really deep and really weird- it will often become difficult to tell what he is saying. But it is very funny, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and most of these excellent jokes are largely clean and small-scale, as though it relies on excellent, comedic cheap thrills. A remarkable show, one with a thoroughly bright future.
Grade: A MINUS
