I just discovered this show and I love it! From the title, I expected a boring reality show in which an actor checks out various types of activity gear he enjoys. But that's only the fake premise of the show. Each episode begins that way but within minutes Glaser is embroiled in ridiculous, hilarious story lines as he portrays himself as a self-absorbed and not too bright jerk much like his Congressman Jamm ("You've just been Jammed!") character in "Parks and Recreation." An episode featuring hockey gear wound up with Glaser seeing a psychiatrist for his "mommy" issues and forcing his uninterested "son" (he explains that he had to hire actors to portray his wife and children because the real ones refuse to participate in the show) to play hockey. An episode about gear for owning dogs deteriorates into Glaser plotting a murder. He has a phone app "Geary" that advises him about gear but usually ends up arguing with him. The show briefly includes his talks with professionals about the gear they advocate and they seem genuinely surprised at his idiotic questions. This is a fresh, original and hilarious show. Well worth the time.
