I grew up watching "Wonder Years", and like when Fred would make a cameo/get work whenever he did (even in "Rules of Attraction", which really showed his potential range). But much like the last horrible short-lived game-show where Ricky Gervaise had to hideously contort his face into something that resembled tolerance for being around children, Fred's presence is made painfully boring due to a lack of good writing and a poor concept overall. Much like Brian Cranston, when Fred has good writers, he's actually quite good on camera. But that's the key...since on his own, he neither has the charisma, humor or experience to carry a show on his own personality or "wit". There really is very little positive to say about this show, since the concept is weird, the editing is horrendous (the lulls and spaces between "jokes" and audience reactions adds up to one big face-palm) and the writing is just plain awful. Fred really looks like he's trying to over-act to get SOME sort of laughs from the audience, but it doesn't come off as anything other than trying too hard. I know this all might sound harsh, but give the guy a good show and format...he'll be worth the investment.
