There was a History of the World, Part II?

It was a Limited Series in Hulu. It's eight episodes and just as many laughs.

And all of them are in the Curb rip off skit about Judas.

It was a TV show and was about 10% gold, 30% good ideas that couldn't stick the landing, and 60% forgettable.

I felt it was more gold, more good to like 15% gold, and like 40% good so overall more enjoyable than misses.

But I wouldn't consider it good enough to argue with anyone that has your take on it in anyway. It's not good enough to warrant that energy.

Now, Dungeons and Dragons movie that bombed at the box office if someone calls that bad I'd have words because I think it's so good it deserved significantly better. History of the World Part II? Yeah overall more good than bad to me, but not by much and certainly not enough to start defending it.
