Critical reception
Amongst contemporary reviews, the News of the World wrote "Pretty blondes suddenly lose their skirts and pompous aristocrats are deprived of their pants. Such fun!" whereas Variety thought it "completely unsubtle in its approach;"[3] and more recently, TV Guide concluded "Auer's antics provide most of the laughs in this tame effort," and rated it 2/5 stars.[4]
gollark: I've got entirely release ones now, except for my one free unused slot.
gollark: It would be really impressive if DC was broken enough that he could *accidentally* release a new dragon this way.
gollark: In fact, it's... entirely current ones in every biome?
gollark: Oh wow, TONS of "current" ones around now!
gollark: Oh hey, my regular xenowyrm hatched, I have a free slot now.
