Miller's old HBO show wasn't bad, but then he had some first-rate writers. That doesn't seem to be the case now. (Recall that way back in the day, Barry Crimmins wrote for Miller!) As for Quinn, yes, he can be very funny. But he's mean, and unless you're W.C Fields, meanness eventually eats away your comedy.
