In this parody on cop shows, a mad-dog US Marshal bent on justice battles crime his way and has only two less than perfect partners and a stodgy boss to rely on.
How does one describe this show? Chris Monsanto is a throwback to the 1980s idiotic Chuck Norris action heroes. He is sexist, insensitive, dim-witted, arrogant and probably the most violent human ever put on earth. Fortunately for him, he lives in a world where few seem to notice what a psychotic Neanderthal this US Marshall is. Oh, he gets/kills the bad guy each episode and usually about a dozen other people, most of which were innocent bystanders. He has a captain that channels the spirit of Orson Welles and completely worthless. One of his partners is mentally retarded and completely worthless. His other partner is a female, who the caveman Monsanto views as completely worthless. Anybody familiar with Elliot knows his approach to comedy is, well, different. Call it anti-comedy if you will, but I laugh hard at every episode and am constantly amazed at how fresh the show is. Screwball like you have never seen and more bad catchphrases than you could ever imagine. I hope this show is around for a long time. Oh yeah, the other show I watch religiously? Comedy Bang Bang, which shares many of the same insane traits of Eagleheart.
