OMG. Best new show of the season. Not even close.

If you like twisted, sick, sadochistic humor, this show is for you.

Definitely setting Tivo for this one.

Oh, can you tell that I sort of liked it?

Watched the Tivo of Sunday night's episode.

I agree with the earlier poster who said that it's much too smart a television show for the average TV viewer. To me, it's not even close as to whether this is the best new comedy of the season - it most definitely is.

You watch - the way they developed the Porta de Rossi character (BTW, one of the most beautiful women on TV, and, yes, I know that she plays for the other team, but still, DAMN) to be the spoiled little rich bitch socialite. You wait - 2nd half there will be a sex tape scandal involving the character.

I think Jeffrey Tambor looks kind of sickly having lost that weight. His face looks drawn out and thin. He looks like he's aged maybe 20 years. Maybe it's just that he shaved his moustache - don't know.

Also, to respond to the earlier post - it is like the great short-lived Jay Mohr/Ileana Douglas sitcom "Action" in that the swearing exists but is bleeped out - in Action, it wasn't bleeped but digitally blurred, both in sound and the little digital boxes on the mouth so you couldn't "see" what the word was.

The way the characters are developing, it's as if Bob Newhart took one of his sitcoms and dropped acid. Recall that in the Bob Newhart Show and in Newhart, Bob was the only sane one - everyone else had quirks. The only ones who came close to being normal were the wives, with Suzanne Pleshette being mostly normal and the late Mary Frann being normal one episode then completely out there the next, which was great. And to complete the little circle, Bob's last foray into sitcoms was that one where he and Judd Hirsch played the in-laws to the young parents, and I believe that the son in that show was none other than Jason Bateman.
