I watched 15 minutes or so of 1 episode.. I hate this kind of comedy television..
just vapid and unfunny , in my opinion...
I do like some comedy shows, was a big fan of Seinfeld, Friends, Cheers, The Office.. etc..
that said, enjoy it if you like it. I will find entertainment elsewhere.
That's where you went wrong. It's not a joke-fest where the homour is disconnected from the story. It comes from the people in it - It's not some top 40 song, easily digestible. ... It's Stairway to Heaven. (Wow, Roger Daltry just rolled over in his grave.)
There often isn't a single LOL moment in some of the best episode such as "Nothing Good Happens After 2AM" - or as Friends would title it "The One Where Lily Kneed Korean Elvis in the 'nads" (OK one LOL moment}. But that is one of the least significant incidents in the episode, which is about Ted Learning an Important Lesson.
