"The Montefuscos" looked as bad as "Fay" looked good. I saw a preview clip for "The Montefuscos" on YouTube, and it was abysmal. It was nothing but broad Italian stereotypes (including a son who was a priest) shouting their punchlines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208674285913301013.post-80483154082588815302011-05-18T20:49:09.584-04:002011-05-18T20:49:09.584-04:00It was easy to miss - only 10 episodes in total......It was easy to miss - only 10 episodes in total...Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17769809005816830951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208674285913301013.post-45244555550225383012011-05-18T17:31:24.456-04:002011-05-18T17:31:24.456-04:00I don't remember this.
