Why Arli$$ might be annoying:

    Robert Wuhl did voice overs throughout each episode.
    Kirby, Arliss, and Stanley were womanizers. Rita was obsessed with Latino athletes.
    The entire show centered around greedy athletes and greedy agents.
    It was filled with product placement.
    Different plots were few and far between.

Why Arli$$ might not be annoying:

    It's charm was overshadowed by 'The Sopranos.'
    It was diverse, with an Asian-American and an African-American as main characters.
