Great show, but it needed Nick to work.


I loved the whole cast, but without Nick there to brighten everything up, the other characters just seemed very dark and mean. And that girl(I forget who she was now its been so long since I watched those episodes) just didnt have the right style of goofiness to match the hole Nick left.. plus she reminded me too much of a cheap imitation of Phoebe from Friends.

My family(as in MY actual family, ha) loved this show, but none of us could watch more than a few episodes after Nick left.

It was like Seinfeld without Kramer, or the Simpsons without Homer, or I Love Lucy without Lucy(maybe not that bad)... it just didnt work right.

maybe ill watch those other episodes some day...
