It looks like somebody punched a lasagna down there.  Funny and very adult.  Well that seems to be what the show is about.

Hey it's Mac as an inkeeper instead of a court clerk from Night Court.  I will watch the show just for him......I mean I've been watching the show because of him.  There's a lot of great television shows on these days.  There's a lot of junk too.  I have to sell bus transfers 3 days out of the week and sell blood and other stuff.....oh wait.... They don't pay for that in Canada.  Watch the show.  Read the basics below.

The regular cast plays residents in the town, while each episode is focused on a different guest star who plays an out-of-town vacationer. Garcia, who based the show on his habit of writing fake guest book entries while on vacation, will write all 10 episodes of the first season. The series premiered on TBS on August 3, 2017.

Episodes

The intended fifth episode of the series was originally intended to air on August 24, 2017, but was held back as it "contained elements that were deemed too sensitive" at that point in time. At the end of August 2017, Garcia noted on Twitter that the held episode would not be made available "for awhile", and that he hopes that it will be released at a later date. In mid-September, Garcia again posted on Twitter and confirmed that the episode would air the next Thursday as the eighth episode of the season, albeit in an edited form to fit its new place in the show's continuity.

When the episode aired, the sensitive elements were revealed to be in relation to the Unite the Right rally which took place two weeks before the episode was originally due to air. The episode depicted an Alzheimer's patient regaining his spousal abuse tendencies and racist personality - going as far as sewing and wearing a KKK outfit with the intention of attending a rally, while also revealing he once murdered an African American while burning down a local black church.
