Man this is a lot of fun

I wasn't really interested at first. I kept having people tell me it was great and finally I succumbed. It's pretty dang hilarious. Some of the characters and dialogue are a little forced, but man if Segal himself doesn't hit it out of the park.

You know who else crushes it? Ford. He hasn't made me laugh this much since Working Girl. I honestly think this is his best work in a decade.

This damn thing even has Ted McGinley in it, and he has some of the best lines.

Here's your random stranger's opinion - Enjoyable show for just a quick episode (they are only 30 minutes long) or for binging.

yes, enjoying it very much. But holy crap, I had no idea that the husband was Ted McGinley until you mentioned it.

"Ted McGinley"

That's where i know this guy from. I've been watching this all along thinking this guys face and voice are so familiar. It's Jefferson from Married with children. Haven't seen him in anything in years. He put on a little weight. It through me off.

My wife was certain it was Treat Williams, and was bummed that they weren't going to have him next season because he recently died. I had to google it to prove to her that it wasn't him,lol

I kept thinking Treat Williams or a younger Tom Berenger before I realized it was McGinley.

I didn’t realize it was Stan Gable from Revenge of the Nerds for several episodes. And I love his character in Shrinking!! (great show, great actors playing fun and interesting characters).

I completely forgot he was in Revenge of the Nerds!
