Characters get addicted to crack, find a baby in a dumpster and make Lethal Weapon six. One, Charlie, writes a rock opera which has to be seen to be believed.

Personally I think its the funniest show on TV, although some don't like season one. Each episode is around 25 minutes long.
I always tell people to stick it out, I always liked season one but I've found, like you, others don't but it does go from strength to strength, I think some of the better episodes have come from the last few seasons.

The thing I like about it is there isn't a chance in hell you'll like any of the characters, obviously they're entertaining but they are the worst bunch of people ever, so many shows have to include likeable characters, people to empathise with but here it's just all bad.

The struggle is getting people past season 1, I think it is important to watch for background.
