Highly underrated

I've seen reviews where people kill this show...I don't understand. It's witty, funny and clever. What more can one ask for. Seriously, one of my favorite shows, period. Can't wait for season 2!

I liked it, but a full run first season and less in between would help.

Totally agreed. I think this show is very well made. Even the beginning is very well designed. I totally loved the idea of comic figures based on letters, that was brilliant! I've never seen a show with such unique quality (well, sex and the city might be one, and it's also about a writer). I hope it will continue. I think it brought out a lot of essence of new york city too.

Yea, intelligent comedies are the best.

It doesn't get much pub. But I really like it and it's perfect for HBO. I hope it lasts. It has a really great cast.

I recently discovered this show and I looooove it! I dont think its appealing to girls, but I found it refreshing actually to see a show thats not all about 'girly problems and their clothes'.

I've always loved jasons' acting and the story is awesome, and they're so funny. It may not have the potential yet for a classic sitcom but im lovin' it.

For what it's worth, my wife and her sister love this show as much as myself. The show is refreshing as the day is long.

I saw the first two episodes and they were just awful. I mean looking at the cast this should be one of the funniest and quirkiest shows out there and it just falls flat. The writing is just awful and the show is incredible boring. This show should be hip, cool and quirky but it's just baaad.

Oh, it is appealing! I just love it, it´s witty, smart, sexy, unusual...

A little under rated but not highly. Dick jokes just aren't that clever.

Such a refreshing show. Ray And George is hiliarious! Especially George's bad tan.

Because they probably either don't get the humor or wish they lived in NYC and are jealous.

You have to remember that the general population's IQ is only a few points above moron - remember how popular "Roseanne" was? Try to keep that in mind.

Absolutely. Just started watching it due to lead in Boardwalk Empire. I wish I had discovered it sooner. My girlfriend and I laugh out loud watching it. Great show, and yes- highly underrated.
