Another week, another pointless adaptation of a prehistoric US sitcom. This is an update of the Jackie Gleason show from half a century ago, utterly unknown to British audiences.

It's about a bus driver and his buddy dreaming up crazy get-rich-quick schemes, now reconfigured for African-American stars, including Cedric the Entertainer. The script clunks and the performances die a thousand deaths.
