I'm guessing this only lasted four seasons due to a lack of advertising for it and not enough word of mouth. I think I *MAY* have come across the name at some point maybe when it was on TV, but I never saw an episode and I never heard anyone say anything about it.
I just finished binge watching My Name is Earl, which I haven't watched since it was on the air, and forgot how much I loved it. I saw people recommended this one next, since it was the same guy who did both.
And I enjoyed it from the start, and midway through season 1 I knew this was one of those rare gems. I couldn't believe I never heard anyone talk about this before...
As a fan of Earl, I love all the callbacks in here. And the callbacks they did to OTHER shows as well, like when Ethan Suplee guest stars, and one of the characters yells at his wife (the incomparable Jaimie Pressly) that he looks like a skinny version of the guy from Mallrats. It's those allusions to everything else that are randomly peppered in here that make me laugh out loud.
The writers are busy on so many levels here, layering jokes both verbally and visually, so that while the scene has people doing something funny in the foreground, in the background there's often something completely unrelated to NOW but may be related to something 5 minutes ago, 5 minutes in the future, or 5 episodes ago.
The songs they write sometimes for Kate Micucci are hilarious.
It's not afraid to be irreverent or even silly, and it's always funny. Actors do a very good job nailing the characters.
Definitely worth checking out if you haven't seen it.
