Although I've heard criticisms of this show, it looked like it had an intriguing and creative concept that, if done right, could allow for something great. A Satanic monster in dog form that is still a "good doggy", who loves his human- his victims are all people who threaten the boy who loves him. This Mr. Pickles Pilot has a few chuckles, but falls apart shortly in its brief 11 minute-run.
The start is unfunny- it just revolves around a couple, who blurt out the word "abortion" just for shock value, and make reference to some beer-steroid joke, before Mr. Pickles kills them. The opening song is an uninspired, dull heavy metal bit. As I mentioned, I chuckled a couple times, but at others, I had to ask why? The dog is Satan, but it kills strippers? Why does Satan hate strippers? The stripper, nor the couple at the beginning, don't offend or threaten his owner in any way, either. The native American character is an over-the-top stereotype, and a heavy dose of racism is a lazy attempt to go for the cheap laugh as well. A waste of Brooke Shields' talents.
