Why is every episode creepy and disturbing?

I agree. I used to watch it once in a while but it was like every character rubbed me the wrong way.

Rarely watched it myself, but, caught a bit of an episode where Crystal's character is dumped I believe by his wife, or, gf, can't pinpoint it, but, his father, played by the tall actor, forget his name as well motions Crystal over with just the movement of his head. Crystal crosses to him, tears in his eyes and the father envelopes him into his arms. It was damn touching.

The character Jodie, played by Billy Crystal was dumped by his girlfriend Carol. The guy Burt (who was actually Jodie and Danny's stepfather) was played by Richard Mulligan.

I think it was creepy and disturbing because it was aiming to parody daytime soap operas which are all creepy and disturbing.
