    Yeah this show is just getting thrashed by the people who watch FOX too much. FOX loves to dumb down shows so EVERYONE can understand EVERY humorous situation, so I can see why 90% of the funny moments can go over your head if you can't relate or understand all the context to the funny lines which make it funny. Takes a little bit of thinking almost.To my fellow lovers of the legendary comedies like scrubs or always sunny, you will definitely love this show.If your definition of really funny is how i met your mother (which is one of the better hold your hand laugh track programs, ill admit) and you sit there wondering why some people in your life quote always sunny like religion when it "doesn't even make sense" then you should probably avoid this showoh oh and enough with the malcom in the middle comparisons. breaking the fourth wall is just that, its not malcom in the middling

    The concept isn't terrible, a few of the jokes are decent, and the acting is all over the place. What is really sad is that this show has no ideas. Every week they just get in ridiculous amount of trouble that any normal person would find a way to avoid, and they've already been repeating themselves halfway through the first season. For example, in the pilot episode, Cooper and his buddies have their TV stolen. They track it down to a house where some sketchy guys live and try to steal it back, but Cooper gets caught and kidnapped. In exchange for getting Cooper back, they have to give the guys an expensive brand new TV. A few episodes later, Cooper gets his phone stolen. They track it down to a sorority house where a party is going on. Cooper's brother is in his brand-new SUV and encounters the teenagers who stole the phone. They steal his clothes and set his new SUV on fire. There are some small differences, but these two episodes are almost exactly the same plot. In fact, if you break it down, almost every episode has a similar story arc. You can expect at some point in every episode they're going to tick off a dangerous person and either end up running for their lives or getting punched in the face. In fact, in the episode that's on right now they just ticked off their landlord and he shot a hole in the ceiling.

    From the look of it, it's a show with so much promise. Unfortunately, it's badly executed. Is it trying to be Malcolm in the middle? Garrett is constantly talking to the camera as a narrative, then the scenes cut back and forth. It's mimicking Malcolm in the middle but without the sweetness and innocence. Why does every show these days have to promote drug use? Every time someone says party, there has to be a guy in the next scene with a bag of pills. Then the next cut has to be excessive drinking. Then a trashy apartment. Is that really what we call entertaining? Is that the 'best' American humor on TV? This kind of screen writing is just lazy. This isn't going to be a good start for shows in 2016. Sadly.
