Now, I know this might be a stretch, because comparing any show to one of the funniest shows that's ever been made is... irresponsible.
I'm not comparing the shows themselves, but the circumstances surrounding their demise.
Arrested Development was cancelled for lack of viewership, not because it was a bad show, quite the opposite. The same can be said for this, as it's looking at the real possibility of being cancelled after 4 seasons.
I can honestly say that I haven't laughed this hard at a show in a long time, especially a network show. It takes a minute for it to blossom, but once it does, you won't be sorry.
I found it hard to connect/start to like the supporting characters. But the more you watch it, the easier it gets to do so. Will Forte is the guiding light; every time he opens his mouth I'm probably laughing.
It's not easy to explain, and may not be for everyone, as can be said for most things. But definitely give it a try, I would say at least until the first couple episodes of season two.
