I only saw one episode, but thought it blew. Good premise, but it just wasn't funny.
 
The music is VERY Smiths late-86/early-87 in the mould of Is It Really So Strange? for instance.

Shame about the lyrics...
 
At the beginning I thought it was a cover on "What She Said"...No, it's nice that Johnny is going back to his Smiths roots for this song, it's just a shame he doesn't actually have Morrissey to sing it. It's time they reunite and do something because I'm bored listening to Morrissey doing a Smith cover, Johnny Marr doing a Smith cover, Andy Rourke playing Bass in a Smiths Tribute gig...god's sake
