opinions
	The concept is just funny. John O'Hurley rocks and Loni Anderson as a former trailer park queen? The Mullet Brothers? This could be gold. Well, UPN gold.
	UPN President Dawn Ostroff got laughs just by announcing the title of this show, which she describes as "'Dumb and Dumber,' only dumber." From the looks of things, the show will revel in the thickheadedness (to say nothing of thick-hairedness) of its characters -- which means all the stupidity will have to be done smartly.

my thoughts on "The Mullets"
	As I've said for other UPN shows, they need to let something grow and this could have legs. The slot's a tough one, especially if the lead-in, "Rock Me Baby," crashes and burns.
