Worth watching... but lacked of a spark.

This was a clever show with mature sense of humor. The main problem with it is that there wasn't a spark; I mean, the kind of sensation that makes a difference between regular shows and great shows that pass to history.

The actors who played the principal characters were not that funny except for Seth Green who always comes and gives the best performance.

The situations were kind of funny but were uncomfortable at some points. Still I would recommend it for those who are tired of the humor brought in pop-American shows.

I also don't think it would've last for more than two seasons.
