I don't really know. The commercials certainly make me lean in that direction.

Not THE dumbest.
But it comes a close second to cancelling Farscape.

I liked it, it was funny, and it's supposed to be dumb.

It wouldn't be bad if EVERY DAMN LINE AND ACTION WASN'T SCRIPTED!!
Do they think they are fooling anyone? Is it really supposed to be a "reality" show?
They need to hire better actors and better writers. It's a damn disgusting pile of doggy doo-doo and shame on Stan Lee for spending 15 minutes in the studio doing all those pre-taped video segments.

Well, it's definitely dumb, but to me, that's its greatest charm. Somehow, the extreme stupidity of the whole thing makes it irresistable to watch. I can't really explain it. I watch it every week, and the whole time I'm thinking "Man, this is ridiculous", but somehow I just have to keep watching anyway, possibly for no other reason than just to see precisely how ridiculous it could possibly get, and somehow I find myself enjoying every minute of it.
I guess maybe that's the ultimate genius of Stan Lee. It doesn't matter what he comes up with. We're entertained by it anyway.

But it comes a close second to cancelling Farscape. Just watch SG-1. By next season the Farscape cast import should be complete. And I hear they're starting to bring in the Firefly folks. (The actress who played) Inara is going to be guest-starring in some upcoming episodes.
