I find it amazingly funny. I actually have to watch episodes twice to catch the jokes I missed while I was busy laughing. The dry, rapid fire, absurdist style is an amazing spiritual successor to the likes of Leslie Nielsen's Police Squad/Naked Gun, or the Hot Shots movies. I haven't laughed this much at a TV comedy in a long time. Kudos to TBS for taking a chance on a show like this!

J2112YYZ Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Yeah, it's a really funny show. I just wonder if doing the Naked Gun/Airplane style jokes might get old after a few seasons. Steve Carell is one of the co-creators and you can see his sense of humor all over it. I like how they debuted the show my marathoning it in one day. I also like that we don't have to wait long for the second season which is coming soon. TBS finally got one right with their original sitcoms. For years they've had terrible unfunny shows that never lasted. I think they found something here though. I liked Rashida Jones a lot in Parks And Recreation and i'm glad to see that she's getting the chance to be the lead character in a sitcom.

ReRushed Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Initially, I was extremely skeptical of this show. But, it won me over. It is a well written show and the cast pulls of the humor effortlessly. Is it great? No. Is it entertaining? Yes. Is that enough to be worthwhile? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicHead Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 The police detective dog is a hoot. He can drive, and takes his son to Bring Your Child To Work Day. This year, he wears a holster and carries an automatic pistol. :laughing guy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
