I never watched this show when it was on TV. I caught part of one episode and to me it seemed stupid. The people in it were acting crazy and I just didn't see anything that funny. And I think the critics with their constant championing of this show actually turned me off. Everytime they mentioned it they called it the best show on TV, one of the best comedies ever. It made me think of what they thought of Seinfield, a show I hate and think is terrible.
They had a sale on the first and third season of the show right after Thanksgiving. It was cheap enough that I was willing to pick it up and give it a chance. I'm glad I did. This show is amazing. This time the critics got it right. This show is funny. I ended up having to go back and buy the second season for regular price, but it was worth it.
Michael, played by Justin Bateman, is the part the whole show hinges on. His is the part that makes all the weirdness work. Without him as a central character the show would not work. He allows the others to be so crazy in their characters.
If you haven't checked this show out, for whatever reason, I would suggest you do it. I rate it as one of the funniest shows done, it is that good.
