I've watch both of the first two episodes and all I can say it, "Yawn".
The writing is just abysmal and even Grammar, who is a top-tier performer, can't manage to deliver the laughs. Never mind the rest of the cast, who are absolutely awful. Seriously. Just awful. Not one of the supporting cast had any of the needed vibe with Grammer to pull off the "funny" like the old cast did. It's just all so flat.
To put lipstick on this pig, they tried the canned laughter track. So obviously disingenuous, and so very loud as if to to say, "See, it's funny 'here' so you should laugh".
I didn't really have high hopes but any that I did have was dashed almost instantly. I don't know where all the high ratings are coming from but if this what what so many others think is great entertainment, I guess I must be from a different planet.
