I never took the time to learn about the show or watch it, so I'm not particularly interested in buying it.

Personally I tried to give it a chance, but just couldn't get past the booger episode and quit watching at that point. For those who are fans, enjoy. But this was utter crap to me. Definitely one of those love or hate series, and it was the latter for me.

I'm not furious-but there are much more worthy series to license, I suppose if you're in the age group that enjoys fart, shit and piss type humor (read 9-14 year old males) go for it. I just don't enjoy gross out jokes-but that's just my opinion.
