    The lesser problem is that all the gags are telegraphed. We see them coming long before they arrive. The bigger problem is that when they get here, they all feel forced, as if someone thought of the gag first, then tried to manufacture a situation, however contorted, that would lead to it.

I will have to reevaluate myself or the rest of the tv viewing world if this show is picked up for another season because something must be wrong with one of us.… Full Review »
