It's very 2004 especially when the living large lifestyles have begun to crash with the mortgage crisis and so many people in bankruptcy right now. Not many people will identify with the extremes in this show as we are all fighting high gas prices and trying to find ways to save money and hold on to our jobs. The decisions of these characters seem frivolous and stuipid at times, but overall the format works and there are some laughs and full puppet nudity. They are known as the dirty pupets for a reason!
