Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood: Light and funny.
The pace: 8 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 23 minutes each).
What might put you off: Audiences were cooler on it than critics.
