yes the show was a little rough and need some work. they did try for a little to much actual plot and not enough comedy but i think they were starting to figure it out ad were making the transition to more comedy and less filler.
Dr. Coleman's dislike of people started out fairly clear and then they drifted away form that to he only disliked those that were a threat to his position in the hospital. But despite that he still was a funny guy and if given a proper chance could have been one of the most hilarious characters on TV.
Rizzo was great, simply put. They needed to give him more screen time.
Dorthy was an alright character but was just to flat and plain, there was no depth to her, she didn't feel as if she had an actual role to play in the show. She should have been used as a contrast to Dr. Coleman.
The rest of the staff were just a little too on the nose as somebody already said. They were to the point that they were more annoying than anything else. They picked a character trait, blew it up 100X and played it for all it was worth in an attempt to make it funny; but they only to end up overplaying it. By doing so they destroyed their personalities and lost 90% of the humor in it. they should have just let them be a little quirky and weird and let the comedy come from that, not the over-exaggerated personalities they tried to create; those were not funny.
now that i take some time to really look at and critique the show i can see why it did so poor, but I DO NOT! agree with the decision to cancel it. they should have worked on it and fixed it so it could become all they had promised it would be.
if something is broke you tr to fix it before throwing it away.

Even with its flaws, AP still was funnier than Up All Night and Whitney. I watch UAN but never laugh at it. I should stop watching it. If the would have put AP on Thursday night, it would have found an audience.
