Wow. You must be the first person - from either side - who actually gives a shit.
As long as it's funny, who f**king cares where it comes from, seriously?

Sometimes you come across as really dislikeable.
Why thank you. I do try.

No you don't, you're just a natural. 
I've set aside a couple of hours tomorrow morning to read the traditional outpourings of bile on BSG that follow episode one of a new show! Always a good laugh to see you writer boys and girls fly off the absolute handle. For the sake of my own amusement I almost hope it is shit.

So, so true.
My view on the show is:
It was ok. Better than I thought it would be and it got a few laughs out of me.
Agree. It has potential.
Meh.

I don't really care. It was just a little stab at those who do.
Alright then. Anyone who doesn't care, is fine by me. I do apologise for any confusion caused in the meantime.
First episodes are always difficult but I enjoyed it and think it has potential. I lol'ed quite a few times. This is probably the first thing I've liked Steve Edge in.
"There are ore vaginas in bolton."
I thought it was quite good though I think I would have laughed more if I hadn't seen the trailer about 20 times which meant that some of the gags were already worn out. Still much much much better than Lab rats
A decent start all in all. I like several of the cast members and there were some good jokes and one or two nice character moments. Will certainly tune in next week to see how it continues.

Interesting. There were more gags in five minutes of Lab Rats than in the whole first episode of The Cup. And the gags in Lab Rats were much more original, and on paper at least, a lot funnier. The humour in The Cup came almost entirely from the characterisation, which is where Lab Rats was so weak.
I did not dislike this, but it did not make me laugh out loud. As someone mentioned the best gags were in the trailers, where they benefited from the sharp editing.
To be honest though I think I have seen enough mockumentaries to last me a life time.
