I wasn't really excited when I saw the promos of this show.Something about it just seemed stale, predictable and unimaginative.
Yet when I caught one of the episodes, I was pleasantly surprised.In spite of the predictable premise(couples who are friends with issues, a married one, a live-in one and a pervert), in spite of the predictable story lines in most episodes, in spite of the predictable character growth etc....there is something in this show that just leaves you utterly pleased and at most times laughing wholeheartedly.And i became a regular watcher.
You will also care for most of the characters.Patrick Warburton who plays Jeff which honestly is the extension of his character David Puddy( + intelligence) from Seinfeld.Megyn Price's Audrey is utterly likable.David Spade's Russell is a convincing rich, spoiled pervert and Adhir Kalyan's Timmy which started as guest role becomes the perfect partner to Russell as his assistant. Bianca Kajlich & Oliver Hudson though are the weakest links and frankly don't add much apart from pretty looks.Partly the writers are to be blamed as they pretty much assassinated Oliver Hudson's character Adam in the later seasons by turning him into a male Bimbo.He wasn't that dumb in the earlier episodes.
Overall this is one enjoyable show and every episode is hilarious.
