Did you see that "woodie" at about 42 seconds? Haha, this should be fun!

I don't really use Amazon very much. Is there going to be any other way to see these with out a prime membership? Will they offer them at a later date without the membership?

I'm hoping there will be an alternative eventually. I also can't see myself subscribing to Amazon Prime for just one show.

I'm in! I'm sure there are enough like-minded people out there with Prime accounts that would let you come over and watch it with them. There's lots of benefits to a Prime membership. We have found some parts there that are a ridiculously amazing value in comparison to Autozone and other stores. Might want to do some thorough research before you decide it isn't worth it.

Considering I was paying like $120 per month for satellite just so I could watch the walking dead and eventually football, I have no problem forking out whatever a prime membership costs. Plus, there's a ton of other benefits.

i totally spaced and forgot all about this. just watched the first episode today. the boys are back, and it was like reconnecting with an old friend. plenty of jabs at the old show, but the structure was very similar, which, to be quite honest, i was a bit surprised. i kind of thought they would have gone with a completely new format.

aside from that, it was a very enjoyable first episode of a 3 year (so far) show. good thing i forgot the first one aired so i only have to wait until friday for the next episode.

I ended up buying a Prime membership. They had a $20 off deal that day if you signed up to watch it. It will be well worth it IMO.

It makes me happy. That's all that matters.

I think these early episodes are struggling from the conflicting desires to establish something new while bringing back the old greatness, and it makes some of the humor feel very forced. But I suspect that'll change as the series progresses past the first few episodes.

I detest the stupid NASCAR driver bits. Thoroughly unsubtle, stupid, forced, overdrawn, and just not funny.

Those minor issues aside, I'm definitely enjoying it.


Oh, and it feels wrong opening with a song other than "Jessica."
