And I think there were three commercial breaks, each at least two or three minutes log. Almost as annoying as a laugh track.

I recently got it and I'm watching Picard and Lower Decks (Strange New Worlds is next when I'm done with those), and the number of commercial breaks and commercials within them is maddening. Thank you, MAX, for not putting me through that.

5. Can you record it and fast forward through the commercials? Oh, never mind--Hulu--yeah that's a real problem...

Admittedly, I adore Martin Short and Steve Martin. Selena Gomez is fine, but her delivery of lines is curious to me as she does so in such a "flat effect" that she always sounds bored or like a teenager, "somewhat contemptuously above it all.' I keep thinking that will change in subsequent seasons, but if anything it seems worse.

Still, I love Martin Short and Steve Martin together and they keep getting incredible guests and cameos on the show.

Then I have to pay extra to get the ads cut out. Damn Amazon Prime does the same thing. It's a shame those businesses can't seem to make enough money.

It’s cheesy fun. They don’t take themselves too seriously and they look like they’re having a great time.
Maybe try again later?
