I can not comprehend the rave reviews for this series. It is one of the worst I've seen. The characters are NOT multi-dimensional or interesting -- they are the most one dimensional gag puppets bad sitcoms have ever produced. That is especially true of the much praised Simon -- a ridiculous, thoroughly unconvincing cartoon character, whose only motivation is to look goofy and odd.Gilligan's Island and My Mother The Car look like great, intellectual works of art compared to The Big Bang Theory.
