It shouldn't have been like this.
You've got a cast of talented young actors. The premise might run out of steam at some point - but we haven't reached it in a few episodes.
But in a comedy, especially one that lays claim to being about a relationship, you expect writing with some depth and characterization. Instead, we get shallowness and caricature. An actor like Neil Patrick Harris ends up mugging for the camera for lack of anything better to do. Alyson Hannigan had deeper characters to work with in American Pie.
Bays and Thomas would be better employed on someone's writing staff, contributing jokes and bits. They can unquestionably be funny - but so far, they have failed to deliver characters with more than one dimension in any of their series.
Cancel this train wreck. Let the actors get on to something better.

The good news about being on Fox in 1992 was - no one was watching, and you could get away with things you'd never get to do on a major network. The bad thing about being on Fox in 1992 was that almost no one watched. Which was a shame. Those few that tuned in were well rewarded.
The writing was sharp (look at what the writers and producers went on to do), the acting was brilliant (look at the cast), with incredible comedic timing, the production was...well, they had an early Fox budget, but they did what they could.
Some years later, Dharma and Greg would do another uptight guy marries into a free spirit family story. And while it was successful, it is a pale imitation of Flying Blind.
There is no show that I'd like to see come out on DVD more than this one.
