    Bad accents, hokey, forced/transparent attempts to steer the audience in certain directions... it just didn't feel genuine. I struggled to get through the first episode.

    Who has a bad accent? One of the numerous British actors that is using their own accent?

    You are one of my favorite posters on the board and one of the posters I wish I knew in real life. The fact that you are a lawyer while maintaining your optimism makes you one in a million. Anytime you want you hook up for a drink or a game, let me know and I will drive down from Austin and make it happen. @Deckard is another guy I want to meet in real life.

    My favorite scenes seem to always involve Roy and his niece

    He tried to steer you in a certain direction. Just didn't feel genuine. I struggled to get through his post.

    Roy is probably one of the best characters in TV today. The actor that plays him does a fantastic job.

    There's noting wrong with folks liking/not liking shows, music, books, etc. It's just weird that he talks about bad accents, and then just brings up one character.

    Is Ted even the main character this season? Feels like Roy, the assistant coach and the owner have a lot more airtime this go around.

    I think they are fleshing out the rest of the cast.

    Re-found it's footing after a very shaky start to the second season lowlighted by the execrable Christmas (in AUGUST?!) episode. When it's on, it's incredibly good.
