    It's a podcast masquerading as a sitcom, but the fifth-season premiere is a good display of the show's shaggy charm.

    Some jokes land mildly on their feet, but creators Jeff Schaffer and Jackie Marcus Schaffer routinely allow potentially interesting punchlines to slip through their fingers unfulfilled.
