I spent half the episode thinking Eugene Levy looked like Judd Hirsch—in the early scenes, he reminded me of Hirsch's father character on Numb3rs. Boy, was I bloody wrong about that… Except it turns out that Levy did an impersonation of Hirsch on Second City Television, which I'd never even heard of until just now when I was googling to see if others thought they looked a bit alike. So I'm not completely nuts for noticing a resemblance.
As for this show? Sigh. It's not really my style. I understand that being over-the-top is the point, but such exaggerated characterizations always quickly get on my nerves. There were some genuinely funny beats, though. I'll at least award it the Three Episode Rule.
