Do We Need More Dice?

The answer is no regarding the need to watch Showtime's new show Dice, which follows the antics of the loudmouth comic. 

This is the set-up:

Twenty-five years after taking the entertainment world by storm, Andrew Dice Clay is eager to reclaim his comedy throne. But that's easier said than done. This scripted, semi-autobiographical series follows him as he tries to make a comeback.

Since I never found him funny on the stage I had few expectations for the new series. This turned out to a good thing. 

Is the series horrible? No. The man is more of a big baby than nuisance off the stage. It could be age, medication, acting, or the real man. I can't tell, and I don't expect to watch enough to learn more. 

The first episode is available on Youtube if you are not a Showtime subscriber.  Good luck.
