I watched all the episodes but I really didn't get into it until the seventh episode. I felt that the show has finally coming into its own. Damon Wayans and Junior do a fine believable job. The humor and writing is getting better as we get used to the characters and sitcom premise. I don't exactly where it is set. Maybe in New Jersey, Poppa worked on the radio in nearby New York City. The cast of characters are slowly coming into form as the season goes on. I enjoyed the Misery segment when Poppa has a nightmare about his co-podcaster in the niddle of the night. I felt the physical humor in the seventh episode added to the show.

Hollywood has a notorious and sordid history. Too bad they didn't include the Sowden house which is rumored to be where the Black Dahlia a.k.a. Elizabeth Short was brutally murdered and dismembered allegedly by Dr. George Hill Hodel. It was his own son and retired Los Angeles retired homicide detective Steven Hodel who uncovered it but he's not included in this documentary. The locations included here are the grand Biltmore Hotel and the decrepit Hotel Cecil among the locations. Cielo Drive and Oman House are quite interesting. Unfortunately the house where Sharon Tate and her friends were brutally murdered was demolished in the nineties. It's not a bad documentary about haunted Hollywood.

The show has great potential to be a hit. We have so few comedies on television today. It's nice and refreshing to see them on network television. Wendy McLendon-Covey is perfect in her role as the head director at St. Denis Medical Center in Oregon. Alison Tolman is effecetive as a nurse supervisor who has a family. Her character seems to be overly involved and so dedicated that she has trouble leaving to see her daughter perform in her school's Mamma Mia. David Alan Grier is fine here as a long term veteran doctor. There are some familiar faces here. I did enjoy the first two episodes and hope to see the rest.

Don't give up in the show. It's the best sitcom on NBC right now and that's not saying much. I would rather have more sitcoms than crime dramas.
