I had seen an episode here or there quite a bit back. Giving it a try on Peacock. So far season one has been very funny. Has a tremendous advantage it was made before political correctness. I like the wall to wall daring zaniness with just a quick splash of life lesson junk.

Very disappointed the show's page here is flooded with MeTV threads.

Yeah, it's a funny show. People seem cautious about saying they like it. Here's a "best episodes" thread I tried to get off the ground years ago:

As I've posted before, I find the early seasons really funny. When you get into the later Sheen seasons, it's select episodes. Many of the later season episodes get a little too far into the gutter for me.

When I saw the first Kutcher episode, I gave up on the show, so I know nothing about those seasons.

Weird series viewing knowing from the beginning at some point I'll jump ship before it's over. Even though not knowing a whole lot about the series. Mostly from reading about changes and huge declines in the series' quality.

I jumped ship early on watching All in the Family when Mike and Gloria moved out and the quality nose dived.

Also quit early on Dark Shadows after "parallel times". Barnabas and Julia come back into current times and the main house is desolated. 4 or 5 episodes that were so boring. DS I might give another try at some point.

With DS I grew disillusioned with the Leviathans arc, but I stuck with it thru the parallel time arcs. The last arc with Barnabas as Bramwell, they crossed a line there by having Frid be another character besides Barnabas.
