The Xmastime "Yes, I Know I'm Going to Hell for This" TV Show Review du Jour

I just watched the first episode of Derek, a dim-witted man with a heart of gold as played by the anti-Ricky Gervais as we know him. Presumably, and based partly on some of his appearance on Charlie Rose I caught some of, we're supposed to have our hearts melted by Derek's unyielding goodness. Unfortunately, Gervais stooped-over shuffling simply makes us wish he was off the fucking screen. And how many of these "Derek moments" can be stuffed into each episode? We're supposed to be watch Derek as if he's a retarded kid being bullied on the school bus, but after a few minutes you find yourself rooting for the fucking bully. Christ.
