"The Spoils of Babylon" Did anyone see it? Like it?

I thought it was not funny and therefore boring. I had really looked forward to it.

I wonder if they had spoofed Reality TV that it might have been more relevant and funny.

I may watch a few more, but it did not impress me much either

I'll admit that I'm the first to like Zucker Brothers stuff, or just plain strange things like odd spoofs, but this was rarely funny. It's a shame, because I think everyone could have carried off a good script.

What happened here? Toby McGuire could have been hilarious.

I think it would have be way easier to spoof Reality TV, which I detest.
