Dirt cheap

By SEAN BARTLETT  |  February 1, 2007

Looking for deeper meaning in a project co-produced by David Arquette may be a waste of time. But maybe Dirt is smarter than anyone will ever give it credit for being, and is in fact capable of bearing the title of basic cable's foremost satire of the Hollywood tabloid milieu. Maybe it will find an appreciative audience only hundreds of years from now, like the music of Bill and Ted’s Wyld Stayllions. That, or it's a particularly ill-conceived turd that will at least fill the next few Tuesday nights with derisive belly laughter.

Frankly, that's a win-win situation.
