Interesting review of this show from The AV Club:

I especially like this paragraph:

There’s nothing wrong with taking a serious situation—struggling to pay the bills when unemployed—and finding a farcical solution to the problem. (This is something that, say, Raising Hope excels at.) There’s also nothing wrong with silly, broad comedy when done well. And there’s nothing wrong with this cast, either, all of whom try their damnedest to make this utterly silly premise play. But sometimes, there’s just a premise so dumb that it keeps getting in the way of anything that could be good about a show and drags it down with it.

This is basically my views on the show. I think dumb comedy can be great if done well, but this show is just...a travesty.
