    Holly crap is this show funny.. I've been watching this show all this season and I am about to start on last season (Season one).. For all the Arrested Development fans out there this show will *help fill the hole that Arrested Development left when Fox canned it.. This show IMO is a mix of a dark Seinfeld with a splash of Arrested Development mixed in.. The show centers on a brother and sister who own a pub in Philadelphia with their two best friends there is a heavy family element thrown in with Danny Devito playing the brother and sisters rich father (His on again off again wife is a money hungry w****) very Arrested Development style.. The show also likes to center on very "touchy" topics.. Abortions/ Welfare/ Guns ex.. The comedy of this show is unparalleled and if you have the time or TiVo space check it out.. Thursdays at 9:00pm on FX

    I love this show. Good call on the Seinfeld-Arrested Development comparison. I made the Seinfeld one yesterday.

    The scene where they got out of hanging with DeVito by saying Charlie was particular about how the urinals were cleaned, then them going into the bathroom and he began to tell the "slave" how to clean them was hilarious. Very subtle.

    I didn't know this was the 2nd season, I thought it just premiered two weeks ago!?! This show is hilarious, but I've only seen the episodes from this season.

    Is Danny Devito a main character in the show? Is this his first sitcom since Taxi?

    I totally agree, this show is awesome! Me and the wife started watching it last year when it came out and fell in love with it right away

    This season has been even better than the 1st.

    I can't believe they don't have season 1 on DVD yet

    Danny Devito is not the main character though, he just joined the cast this season.

    I heard about the show last year, but I never caught an episode, I think I confused it with that other show about the people with the eating disorders and maybe that's why I never watched it. I've been watching this season though since it's rerun time and I'm glad I have because it is freaking hilarious.

    I just started watching this as Fox showed it (censored) on Sunday nights a few weeks ago. I have to say...

    THIS IS THE FUNNIEST SITCOM I'VE EVER SEEN!

    The commercial says it exactly right..."It's Seinfeld on crack."

    I'm hooked and will be watching every episode from here on out. Is the first season on DVD?
