Big hole in show is Nat Faxon
I've watched each episode of this show so far, and if it were on CBS, ABC, or NBC, especially, I doubt it would last. However, since it's on Fox, it might last a while. The show has many charms, including the premise, writing, and most of the cast. The big hole in the show, unfortunately, is the actor playing one of the main characters. Nat Faxon as Ben is not funny, and certainly shouldn't be given free reign to improvise and riff to the extent that he does. The character (so far) doesn't have enough redeeming qualities to be played by an actor without the looks or the chops, acting or comic, to pull it off and make him more sympathetic. His teeth are a big distraction. I don't think every actor's teeth should look perfect and pearly, but, seriously, when his mouth is open (which is most of the time), I can't look at anything else or listen to anything that's happening.
