It's not a great show, not impressive, but it has a rather nice warmth to it. The characters seem to have a liking for each other, and it lends the show a sort of charmingness. Not one of my favorites, but worth watching.

It's outlandish, unrealistic, and all of that. But it's fun a romp, even if it's silly. I like the characters, and I'm not expecting greatness. I didn't get the impression that I was supposed to take it seriously, and I'm not. There are other shows I do expect greatness from, and those I scrutinize carefully. This is one I can watch just for fun, with one eye on the hubby or the dogs, and not feel like I have to rewind because I missed something important. So, it's fun and it's easy to watch without worrying about catching every detail. I have a few shows I watch for those reasons, and this has become one of those for me.

It was so outlandish I could not watch another.

When the computer cable dropped down from the low flying airplane and dangled straight down instead of whipping in the 200 mph wind, I had to stop watching.
