Imagine you have three script writers for a comedy show, like "The Dick Van Dyke Show", but none of them are named Buddy. In fact, they are named Hugh Davidson, Larry Dorf, and Rachel Ramras.
This trio is always arguing, like siblings, or like The Three Stooges, but they don't poke each other in the eyes. But like the Stooges, there is a manic stupidity that allows them to continually make bad choices or say things without thinking them through.
This quarrelsome threesome might remind you of characters from "Seinfeld", but none of them are named Cosmo. For their names, see above. But they are very Seinfeldian. Except that when someone sneezes when talking, they don't refer to him as a "sneeze talker". Seriously, these three are as funny as Jerry (Hugh), Elaine (Rachel, I guess, because of gender), and George or Kramer (Larry).
They are looking to sell their script for a comedy film and, realizing Hollywood is all about connections, they try to capitalize on every connection they have. And many they don't.
Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone are producers. They appear in the show, as do a raft of other Hollywood celebs who add another layer of fun.
Rachel is a master of malapropism. Larry is self-centered even more than the other two. And Hugh is both the brain and the conscience of the group, which is scary.
The humor is laugh out loud funny. My only complaint is that the episodes are too short--because I would love for them to be longer.
Update 6/1/17: I have decided to use the little known VDC (virtual doubling cube) that comes with IMDb membership, thereby changing my grade to "20". Rachel, Larry and Hugh are the best thing on television, especially if you aren't looking for sci-fi or horror. If only I could double the penetration that this show has in the marketplace, so more people could enjoy its pleasures.
