i wish i could say that this show be unusual in it banality and but it be usual in every way . it have the dumb husband and his smarter but boring and conventional wife and along with the idiotic sidekick for comic relief it sorely need it . stale predictable joke and with even more predictable reaction from the laughtrack and punctuate this noxious mental narcotic nauseatingly unimaginative plot line to leave me either physically ill and or in a deep sleep more resembling that of an induced coma . but it might be on for a while yet because it give the average american a personage to which they can truly identify . a regular guy just like you and me . i live in the southern u. s and so to me this show be just the opposite of escapism . down here and that obnoxious character be everywhere and in some form or another . see him on television be brutal overkill .
