FAS/FAE nowhere to be found.

While the show does attempt to develop a blueprint of consequences to the behavior being exhibited, there is a glaring aspect of drinking and pregnancies. All the recovery and apologies and acceptance and bail money shouldn't be allowed to paper over the consequences of fetal alcohol syndrome from drinking while pregnant. It adds to the surreal atmosphere of real world behavior and hollywood trying to develop a meaningful dialogue. Would that be too much harshing one's mellow in a comedy series? It's difficult to have it both ways - addressing real consequences while trying to be entertaining.
That said, the acting and production is well within the parameters for succeeding as a long running series.
