My apologies if a thread already exists about this, did a quick search - didn't see anything.

Anyone been watching this show? I have found it to be easily the best new show of the season and is right up there with the office for a can't miss comedy. Great writing to go along with some ridiculous characters.

Hopefully it can keep it up and stick around.

Yep, Ive mentioned a few times on here about how good this show is. The way it's done is nothing new, but the writing and dialogue is hillarious.

Definitely on my DVR list every week.

Awesome show. We make a point of watching this one every week as well.

Great characters, hot chicks, like Gloria and the Divorcee. Very well written show.

The Dad is hilarious (not Ed Oneil) can't remember his name on the show right now. That High School musical dance he did was great, I love how he tries to be all cool and hip.

That show has some really funny lines.

I happened to randomly come across it on evening, during the bicycle thief episode. Now its a can't miss for me. It seems a bit like a cross between Arrested Development and the Office.

I loved the bike shop owner telling cool-guy-dad that maybe his dad was trying to teach him a lesson.

That was the best line on the show. We still laugh about that one....

I have PVR'd every episode but didn't get around to watching them until I was sick and home from work for a few days.

Absolutely hilarious! I won't miss an episode now.

Wow, was I ever surprised to see Edward Norton as a cameo. Anyother great episode. I laughed when the grandpa (Al Bundy) sprayed his Peurto Rican son with a spray bottle.

That was awesome. I also loved when Hailey tried to sneak out when she went to get a pop and he was standing out on the porch changing a light bulb. This show is pure awesomeness! I look forward to it every week.

I need something explained because I obviously missed it or wasn't paying attention at the time. What are they referring to every time they say "they are acting like a pill" or in the wedding episode the mom said "take your Claire pill"

What did I miss? And which episode was it in?
