... I didn't watch this show when it originally aired on network TV. I've been catching it on Comedy Central the last month. No question it is an exceptional show.
The writing is great, repetitive, fast, sharp, thought-provoking, funny and, when it needs to be, sad. And all these adjectives apply to each and every episode!! Not a lot of TV shows can say that. In fact no more than one or two actually...
The actors are great at matching their characters to the lines, handling the rapidfire material, dealing with complex changes in pace and 'feel' of the scene. I'm ALWAYS upset when the 1/2 hour is over.
It's unfortunate that it was canceled after only a few seasons but maybe that's a good thing - no chance to go downhill.
