I have no idea. It's one of the best sitcoms on tv.

Yes, it is. Maybe once the reruns hit syndication, it will get a bigger audience.

I really like this show. It reminds me of the ultimate average family, where you see more of the warts than the glamour. Maybe that's why it is so under-appreciated.

Exactly. They are a bunch of flawed people who are not above things like taking their vacationing neighbors' new car out for joyrides...things that most people would never have the nerve to do.
