This show is amazing. First off, it's very funny. But it's also surprisingly involving, with odd, interesting characters, some goofy, ingenious episode plots, and a nice tendency to build on previous episodes while still being episodic enough that you could probably watch all the episodes out of order and still enjoy them.
I don't know what to make of the hatred this show has received from a lot of people here. There are a remarkable number of 1-star reviews, and that's weird, because even really bad shows are more likely to get three or four stars from a lot of people. I understand a difference of opinion, but even if you don't find this funny, it is not incompetent, which is virtually the only reason to give something 1 star.
Ignore all the one-star reviews as being nonsensical. You may or may not like it, but if you give it one star you're just being ridiculous.
Also, many reviewers had some variation of "this is just like Red Dwarf except not nearly as funny." So I went and watched the first episode of Red Dwarf, which had really annoying characters and maybe 3 laughs in a half hour. The comparison is also dumb because the series are nothing alike - it would be like someone saying "Mad About You" is a knock-off of "I Love Lucy" simply because they're both about married couples.
Anyway, the naysayers had their way and this died. But you should still watch the first season.
