There are definitely elements of this show where either homage is being paid or ideas are being expounded upon and certainly aspects that have since been imitated.
But no other show that this one is similar to is as funny, in my opinion.
The humor here, some of it very ManShowesque and some even tongue-in-cheek Colbertiffic, is spectacular, even without the influence of laugh-inducing chemicals.
I like the half-hour format, because I think an hour of this at a time might get a bit stale.
The actors are great, the girl is sexy, the desert is beautiful.
Truly great show and it's a shame it didn't make it further than it did.

Man, I found myself living in southern Arizona for a few years and this show nails it. The people it portrays, well I've met their doppelgangers all and they are dead on accurate. The place, it REALLY sucks. But there's a weird surreal quality to the desert that grows on you, and that quality is captured by the show as well.
What else? The old people from all over the midwest and Canada that basically just come there to die, the young people looking for a way out, and the rest of them, misfits and raggedy hooers and gun toting simpletons and desert crazies...they're all real.
I used to have to try to explain what living in southern Arizona was like, now I just tell people to watch this show and they'll get it.
It's just about perfect.

I think they should have put it in the comedy section instead of action and adventure. This is a must see if you like cheezy makeup and bad jokes. Every episode had me rolling on the floor somewhere though it.
