I have watched several episodes of Mountain Goats now and each time look forward to the next one more.
This really appeals to my sense of humour in a way that not much comedy does these days.
It feels comfortably familiar as if I've been here before even though it's entirely new and even if I can see some of the jokes coming it's so I can enjoy them the more. I haven't even noticed the studio laughter others have complained about.
Perhaps the first episode wasn't the strongest, but as the series unfolds we get to understand the characters more and enjoy watching the situations unfold.
This may not be high art, but I enjoy it and look forward to the next episode - and that's what I want from a TV sitcom.
