Too Bad It Was Canceled

I must say, its been a while since i've seen this show. It was canceled after only a few episodes. However, I had never laughed so hard at a sitcom before in my life. While it was filled with a lot of cheap one line jokes, they were about the funniest I'd ever heard. Some of the premises of the shows were truly funny to. On one, a wife in the neighborhood its set in starts taking anti depressants, and she starts feeling so good that everyone else starts, and pretty soon all the women are so high and happy that their husbands have to find some way to stop the madness. Anyway, its a shame that this laugh out loud show was canceled.

Not that I'm bitter or anything

The concept of this show was great - three couples of different ethnic backgrounds living together in a nondenominational suburb. Some of the episodes were hysterical! The one I remember best was when Will (Matthew Letscher) proposed his hand in marriage to Becca (Melinda McGraw). However, since Becca wanted a Jewish wedding, Will had to convert, but "What about my...shmeckel?" Shelly Berman guest starred as the mohel. It is too bad the series got cancelled, but what do you expect in a society where humour is equated with potentially offensive material, leaving only the drek that fills most of the available prime time airtime? Exactly.
