    It is certainly one of the most daring shows I've seen on network television.
    The best thing about it is that I think the shows creator is making this up as he goes along.
    I don't think they thought they would have a show after the first season.

    The last episode was an entire show devoted to Free Will versus determinism. Crazy.
    The reason why I think the show seems slow is because these writers just don't know exactly what they want to do. So you might have one episode that doesn't do anything. And then they'll have some explosive episode that all kinds of stuff happens.

    Anyways if you haven't tried to watch the show you need to watch it.

    I'm going to take your opinion with a grain of salt, with all due respect.

    Anyway, this isn't a normal sitcom. This series at its core is sci-fi. It's also a serial sitcom in that it is telling a story, it isn't a let's waste 30 minutes of your time and you aren't always watching what you think you are watching.

    This show is original in the same way as say LOST was original. It's operating at a high level.

    I actually agree, despite what's track record

    My caveat being that it is the best show on network TV, but by a wide margin. Literally the only network show I enjoy, the only network show I consider smart.

    This show is a cute, fun, watchable show. But that's about it.

    I thought the first season was fantastic.

    Second season, not as good but still very enjoyable.

    Haven't liked the third season much at all. I've stopped after four episodes. I'll binge the rest at some point.

    I think I need more Janet and Bad Janet in my life.

    It's a great show, but the premise extremely limits the story arc and writing.
