>>331629I absolutely hated this show, and I never knew why. Either the mom was ugly, or the dad was too dopey when he shouldn't have been, or the voiceover was atrocious. Something was always demoralizing about it.

Only series I watched from beginning to end, being on a good time slot where I lived helped it a lot.

>>334298It's like a time capsule. That's my feels. Traffic jam episodes really brought the message home that we're all in the same shit together. Janie return really hit the feels.

>>334344Whore she was not. Screehing-psychic-vampire-banshee yes. But her commitment to her marriage is actually extremely respectable.

>>334326Just like every show
But it was mostly a quality show to the end, it gets a bit formulaic at the end and Francis arc doesn't really go anywhere but other characters and situtations plus some character backstory turn it around.
I guess people were just burned out, it's a pretty cynical show and it was on for 6 years straight on Sunday Nights.

>>331641For me, the talking straight to camera is a strange thing to do, and when I see it now (even in the British House of Cards which pre-dated it) I just think of MITM. Quintessence of the format for me.
>>334363The drop-off point for me was the introduction of a kid even younger than Dewey. Before then there are a lot of jokes that are pre-overton window shift. After that it's more story focused and srs becoming adults business at the expense of the time for or the room for much of the comedy.
