Season 1 is very good...season 2 pretty good...but after that the show gets super silly. The plot-holes are everywhere. For example, in each episode, there's about 4 or 5 times people get hammered on the head to "stun" them. Hit with shovels, metal clubs, rifles, tire irons...you know, most of those hits would lead to death in the real world. Also, EVERYONE wants to sleep with the main character...it gets a little boring. Ridiculous storylines compounded with imbecilic situations. It really ruins the best parts of the show...which ARE really nice. It's a funny show and the characters are quite interesting and well developed. It's also family friendly (for the most part) and there's very little Hollywood PC politics. So there's a lot here to like. If it just took things a bit more serious with writing and storylines it would be an 8 or 9 star show. It's definitely worth watching if you can ignore the glaring plot-holes and absurd scenes.
