  1. I watched 2 episodes of the first season and didn't really think it would last more than 1 season. Most of the actors seemed to try to hard, forcing humor on occassions that made it hard to watch. Galecki was the only one that delivered a fluid performance but what the hell do I know. The show has a high rating in imdb.com.
