Hit and miss but the Hits are amazing

I've watched a lot of sitcoms and this is definitely something special. The actors really blend, love what they do and are armed with lightning fast dialogue! Saying that, the episodes walk a very fine line heavily relying on inter-episode in-jokes and stereotypes that sometimes fall short of funny. The show tries very hard to build relationships, especially between the daughter and father which can be the basis for some of the more boring episodes. The funny episodes are the completely absurd spin-offs such as season 3 episode 5 "Two girls for everyone" where Finch attempts to arrange a threesome. This show really boils down to if you're watching it on DVD or not, jumping from a serious episode to a funny episode is essential else you'll find it hard to stay into the show.

score 6/10
