This show was the most boring one when I was a kid, and as an adult I just have to shake my head at how inferior the jokes are. "Why did I marry my wife when I can drink beer and watch TV" is the sort of joke that hit home in this show. Top it with jokes about amish pornography and we have a winner.
The only redeeming about the show is the sweet and funny Richard Kind. I like him in Mad About You as well. Michael J. Fox has never been very charming, and he's overacting, trowing himself across tables to show that he's able. Alan Ruck is downright unlikeable and creepy with his "loser" schtick. The others are forgettable.
I'm happy that the American workplace sitcom evolved past this and gave us more joyful AND clever shows like The Office, Parks & Rec, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Veep. This show is just depressing.
