Reviews

Op_Prime This show was funny and better than half the things the WB renewed. Sure it had it's problems. But all shows do. The Army Show gave a goofy and funny look at the army. The show was also intelligent (which was probably the reason most of America didn't watch it). The show didn't deserve to be cancelled after 13 episodes.
