I have recently finished watching the series on DVD and enjoyed it although I can see why it failed at the time. The problem lies within the poorly written 'sitcom jokes' which are cringy and predictable. The supporting actors are also rather average although the show is not meant to be about them so it doesn't matter so much. On a positive, the storylines themselves are actually quite good (albeit very simple) and typical of something you might see on Here's Lucy. Overall it is a easy show to watch that probably should have lasted a full season. BTW, my favourite episode was "Curtis Bytes the Dust".
