- I won't go to the chorus of cheers you will because some characters get tiring, but at worst, it's a very interesting concept/execution exercise. - Name Withheld by Request Jan 20, 11:26
- I really dislike sitcoms and even I think it's ok -- nm - decline Jan 20, 11:10
- Yes you should watch. -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 11:00

- Yes, I should watch, but I don't Hulu. Netflix ETA? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 10:51 9
  - It's still probably available on demand on your cable system. -- nm - pmb Jan 20, 10:53
  - Not for a while, possibly a year. You should explore other alternatives. -- nm - David Jan 20, 10:52 7
    - Does it stream for free/no account required in the US? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 10:53 6
      - GlobalTV.com has it, but i think they only go back a couple episodes? -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 10:55
      - I have no idea. The nuances of Canadian streaming aren't my forte. -- nm - David Jan 20, 10:54 4
        
        The reason I ask is because I'll be spending a week in the US starting on Sunday. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 10:57 3
        
        You should be able to watch off of Hulu while you're in the US. -- nm - David Jan 20, 11:02
