To me, watching a good TV series is like having a chance to live in an alternate reality. I have to say that out of all realities of my favorite comedy shows - Scrubs, Arresting Development, maybe some other ones - the universe of this one feels the most I would actually want to visit. Everything about this show is so amazingly life-like, normal and crazy at the same time. The moms - the one who's always late and in a hurry at the same time, the chill mildly alcoholic one (you want to be friends with her), the queen bee in control of all the events one. The school problems - I'm from another country but so many things seem familiar here. The personal lives of actual adults - boring, tedious, funny, full of surprises.
This show is like Chekhov to me, or, in English, like Tennessee Williams meets Mark Twain. The characters are always natural, never weirdly friendly, or polite or speaking to each other as if they're each other's shrinks, not friends. Very good television. I love it so much that I even wish they don't make a fourth season if it has to be anything worse than the first three.
