I saw the promos and thought I'd like this. I saw the pilot and thought I might hate this. I saw Louie Anderson's performance as the main character's mother (yes, you read that right) and I've come to love this. I laugh out loud. It's weirdly watchable in a first season of "My Name Is Earl" kind of way. But the Louie Anderson performance will give it legs to stand on for years. If this is the only season and it's just a throwaway show, that stuff is still comedy gold and I'm glad it's here.
