Would be more successful if...

I think this show would be a better fit on TBS instead of FOX...it just doesn't have the feel or the quality for a main network. I think it has a lot of potential and is funny, but I think it would better suit TBS...the ratings that its getting, which is considered a failure for FOX, would be good on TBS, a cable network. Just something I thought...I hope it doesn't get cancelled...and if it does, I hope TBS picks it up like they've done with other shows in the past.

I think the main thing that would make this show better would be to get rid of the laughter. Live audience or not, it takes away from any intelligence in the humor being forced to hear other people laugh.

Live studio audiences can easily work against you. The only thing worse is canned laughter. Thank God they figured that out and stopped using it.

I hate laugh tracks, but that would not save this show. Seinfeld was funny with its laugh track/live audience/ whatever. The thing this show needed was more risk-taking and originality. If I am to believe this guy really is as talented as his fans seem to believe, then his original writing would be there, it just needs the network to keep their hands out of the show's pockets.
