He delivers every line with relish and his smile makes me laugh out loud. I think he must be the first satanic father figure in TV history. He's like a bizarro Ward Cleaver who metes out worldly advice to the lovelorn Sam.<BR/>Then you have Bert (Tyler Labine - think of Jack Black in Saving Silverman)<BR/>One of my favorite scenes was when Bert gave Sam (Bret Harrison)a receipt and asked if he could get reimbursed from satan. <BR/>I make a point to try to catch this show. I hope it can keep it up.skylolo99https://www.blogger.com/profile/10642765886695918013noreply@blogger.com
