I am seeing from this post that Dickey carries a lot of baggage with him which is making people unwilling to give the show a chance. A few people here have stated they won't check out the show on principal.

I don't know Dicky like that. I have heard one album once, Seen the Sway freestyles (so know he can rap), and thought the Chris Brown joint was funny. If his schtick is old for rap heads I doubt that's the case for TV viewers.

And I hope by the end of the season it grows beyond dick jokes. I imagine this show will follow a typical tv season growth Arc and we will see him grow as a character over the season. I think we are seeing something like that already with the great Gata episode.

Anyway, I think folks are over analysing it a bit. Either it's funny or not. I get how it may not be that funny if you are not a Dicky fan.

But not thinking about it from a music/artist standpoint, I think it's pretty F'ing funny.

I hope it keeps up the momentum.
