Is It Really That Bad?

I think its AMAZING. When I went to go wiki it (expecting amazing critical reception), it was all negative. So honestly, are we maybe judging to harshly? And Im a very picky person :)

i think the problem that people have with the show is that jokes are delivered at a rapid pace and as a result the audience seems to miss them. Quite frankly i think the pacing of the jokes are brilliant, just people dont want what they arent used to and need things spelled out for them. When people claim that this show isnt funny, it is because they miss the jokes. Of course there will be those few who say they get every joke and still dont find it funny, but its not possible to laugh at (with) the show if you understand the comedy. Just my opinion.

It's not bad. It's another very funny comedy that was unfortunately kicked in the crotch by stupid FOX and viewers who were expecting another Family Guy.

I've seen the whole season and it's a good show. Hilarious jokes and great random moments. My only nitpick is that at times they break the fourth wall a bit too much.

The reception you read was basically from the pilot. The pilot was good, but the show really got its groove after wards. Unfortunately, everyone dismissed the show by the 3rd episode.

Weird is the new normal.

Sorry mckiver24 but KOOL guys like you could not be more wrong. First, it's NOT AR, it's not even close. Secondly it's just lame unfunny crap. Just because the same people who created AR created this mess does NOT mean it's just like AR. I like my shows to be funny, not Kool cause I watch them. LOL

This post has nothing to do with AR:

Sit down shut up was not a classic, but it was (to me) a pretty darn funny and consistent animated show, and those are hard to find, I'll be grateful to eventually get a chance to own the DVD and watch this years down the line.
