When it comes to "Rob", Jace Lacob of The Daily Beast described it as CBS's "worst new show" and wrote that it "offers a wafer-thin appreciation and awareness of Mexican culture". Robert Bianco of USA Today wrote "Some of this barrage of stereotypes might be passable if even one character were intelligently written and skillfully played". So with reviews like that clearly we needed to investigate.
"Rob" stars SNL alumni Rob Schneider as a middle aged man who recently gets thrown into a world of Mexican-American culture after getting married to a woman in a tight-knit family. The show was created by Schneider and former Saturday Night Live writer, Lew Morton.
Was this show as bad as advertised or was it not given a fair shot? Listen as we go back to 2012 to review Rob's pilot episode.
