I posted my review of CBS' "Rob(or, if you prefer, "¡Rob!") this morning. Now it's your turn. For those of you who watched, what did you think? Were you predisposed towards liking or hating Rob Schneider? Did you enjoy the ethnic humor? The misunderstandings and slapstick? Cheech? The wacky uncle? And will you watch again? 

Have at it.

    I love Cheech Marin, and the promos for this show (which mostly focused on him) were entertaining, but I had a bad feeling, because most of the promos didn't show actual scenes from the show and I don't much care for Rob Schneider.

    My bad feeling was right. This was meh. Cheech wsz good, but there was very little Cheech. Most of the focus was Rob and his hot but bland wife. It would be nice if we had some inkling of what this babe sees in him, but Rob is so annoying throughout, it's hard to see.

    I suffered through Work It out of curiosity. I cringed through Chelsea for reasons I don't even know. But Rob was not nearly as bad as either of them. It was fine with a couple of amusing moments. I would even say it was funnier then the Broke Girls pilot. Definitely doesn't deserve the vile reviews it deserved. Wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being a hit for CBS.

    Bad, but not as bad as "Work It" or "How to Be a Gentleman". The hot wife at least isn't a cartoon like Sofia V. Schneider has an inexplicable following, so this could end up being a hit.
