    The reason the show feels so real at every turn is that it is a perfect balance of dramatic realism and gentle humor.

    Funny, smart, entertaining, excellent acting and writing. What's not to like?

    This dark-tinged show is frequently very funny, never more so than when the pals gather for a diner meal, to whine and tease one another. The dialogue has a cutting crispness; the hour zips along, no matter how logy its antiheroes may become.

  1. Thumbs up from Sweden! Even though i'm a woman who just turned 25 i can still appreciate this clever show and it's brilliant cast. Ray Romano has been making me laugh since the beginning of ELR, which in my opinion is the best sitcom ever made. I wish this show a lot of success for many years to come. Expand

    I love this show. It is not your typical series, and not just another "me to" show. It is original and doesn’t insult my intelligence. I find it refreshing. Expand
