The 1 star out of 10 is harsh. Also you admitted you only watched one episode which was a very average episode anyway. As the series progressed it gets better and better. Its not in the class of Frasier, Friends, Everybody loves Raymond etc but its not a bad sitcom at all. You need to give sitcoms a chance to bed in, remember the great Cheers nearly got canned after 10 episodes but survived and went on to be a classic. The characters are likable and new ones are added as the series progresses which add to it all. ALl in all this isn't a bad sitcom. Hopefully this will get a second season run now to let it progress even more.
