My wife and I got through first season and started the second but never felt the need to watch it.

I actually think one of the challenges is that isn’t quirky ENOUGH. The charm of shows it’s replicating are two fold:

1. Characters are extremes
2. They’re always in group situations where they can bounce off one another.

I think the characters all actually have too much heart and aren’t kitchy enough and too often the interactions aren’t in a group setting.
