Reception

Common Sense Media gave the show three out of five stars, commenting that although some of the material in the show would be inappropriate for very young viewers, the show's hosts are "respectful toward the people they're learning from, but they still manage to hold on to their trademark bawdy sense of humor". [4] A reviewer for Huffpost TV stated that the show's premise was "dopey" but that the show's concept was "inherently entertaining". [5]
