Negative Positive
Title: CANTANKEROUS, IRRITATING, ARROGANT, EGOTISTIC, RACIST JERK CAN BE FUNNY, BUT . . .
Review: . . . Only, maybe, in short bites. But buying the Season 1&2 and seeing all episodes end-to-end is definitely overloading. The bile is only diluted by the brightness of a beautifully-young Geena Davis and the smart sexiness of Joanna Cassidy. By the end of Season Two, Bill just seemed plain vile and mean-spirited.Although there were some moments, the overdone caricatures of the milk-toast producer, continuously- obsequious stage manager and stilted/ dated writing makes Bill into buffalo chips. Dabney Coleman is a terrific talent; if the writing and characters were better done, he and his ensemble could've, should've made it past the two-season mark by a long, long way.
