"Pushing up against the line of appropriateness at every turn, this pilot will have you holding your breath and trying to keep from laughing at the irreverent, risky and entirely original comedy. The writer's voice is unique, provocative and unbelievably funny. Fred is an entirely ridiculous but totally lovable protagonist, and it is exciting to imagine all of the crazy antics he will get up to week-in and week-out as he tutors the damaged and maladjusted children of Los Angeles... Every character is over-the-top in their own way, down to the smallest of roles, and the world of the series is already bursting off the page."

"This topical project tackles homosexuality from an entirely new angle. It's not a gay man struggling to be accepted as gay, but rather a gay man who discovers his friends only have enough energy to support one change in sexuality in his life. The situations he gets himself into are both objectively funny and 'can't look away' cringe-worthy. A stellar supporting cast adds consistently funny tension as well as dramatic progression for Gary in his search to find his true self. It's incredibly relevant, accessible, and original."
