'Legit' review: Raunchy (but funny) Aussie

He hasn't got a clue, but he does offer his help to Steve's wheelchair-bound brother, Billy (DJ Qualls), who is suffering from advanced-stage muscular dystrophy. Billy has never had sex and wonders: Could Jim introduce him to some prostitutes? His parents, Janice (Mindy Sterling) and Walter (John Ratzenberger), are horrified -- at first.
"Legit" is raunchy in the extreme -- almost a quantum advance in terms of language content for basic cable. It even makes HBO's "Girls" seem like "Kindly Old Ladies" by comparison. That said, "Legit" also almost perfectly hits the FX demographic "sweet spot" in terms of whom it will appeal to: young, somewhat inebriated men who depend on Howard Stern for their spiritual guidance and on beer -- plenty of it -- for their nutritional needs. Plus, it can be scabrously funny and reasonably good-hearted, too.
