VEEP - TV show

Despite winning several Emmy's, I approached "The Veep" with a skeptical attitude. While I loved  Julie L. Dreyfus in Seinfeld,  I was dubious she could carry a whole show as the lead.  And i was right. She's good in the role, but she needs lots of support, and she doesn't get it.  The supporting cast is remarkably unfunny, and the scripts/jokes are mediocre at best.   Sample:

1) Upon hearing the vote for President was a tie: "Didn't those founding-f'vers ever hear of odd numbers"

2) "You're as welcome as a S-Beep Swastika in an Synagogue" 

3) "They all look alike to me. Oh, I meant, children, not the Chinese"

Hilarious, no?  Answer: No. Very No.  As you might have guessed from these three jokes selected at random, there's massive amounts of profanity and vulgarity.  Many of the scripts sound like they were written by 13 year old boys, who think dropping the "F-word" when their Mom isn't listening is screamingly funny.  I found it tiresome and indicative of mediocre writing.  But evidently some think tired jokes are funny if you add a curse word. 

The other problem is that VEEP is a "Satire", buts its never clear what *exactly* is being satirized.  Mostly, its just Dreyfus being a doofus and acting unprofessionally.  Maybe idiots (aka TV Newspaper critics) think VP's and the Presidents act like Martin Sheen in "west wing",  and think the show is "irreverent".  But that's just a guess. 

Note: This is another US TV show that is a copy of a much better British one. But that's neither here nor there, since every show stands on its own merits.
