    Anyone been watching this show? The early previews didn't really interest me at all, in fact I went in expecting the show to suck.

    But I gave it a chance and it has been really funny. Argueably one of the funniest show on network TV right now.

    I watched 3 or 4 episodes and it was absolutely horrible. I can imagine that Gad was outstanding in the role of Elder Cunningham in Book of Mormon, but I could not stand his character in the 3 or 4 episodes I watched.

    Yeah i guess it all hinges on whether you find Skip funny or not and we do.

    I wasn't expecting much and it's actually better than expected, I wouldn't call it one of the best sitcoms on TV but it's better than Whitney.....

    Based on your first post, I am going to watch the latest episode to see if it holds my interest. :)

    Wouldn't say it's one of the funniest show, but I do enjoy it. It was better than expected, which is always a good thing.

    I've watched a few episodes just because I was too lazy to change the channel. The son is funny for a little while, but it got old after one episode. Otherwise I thought the show was OK.

    It's a lot better than I thought it'd be. Not overly funny, but decent, and it has some charming moments. Could do a lot worse. It'd be nice to see NBC give it a chance to grow. Too many shows are pulled way too fast these days.
