Recently got both seasons, probably funniest show I've ever seen. What's the story behind why it's only a couple seasons? I can't imagine anyone with a sense of humor not cracking up repeatedly every episode.

Someone posted a website on this board where you can watch all the episodes for free. I did a search but couldn't find anything. Anyone know what I'm talking about? And I'm not talking about hulu.
TIA

Fox, as they are prone to do, didn't support it or promote it well. The show was winning awards, but Fox basically let it lie there floundering.

Hell...I'm as good as an example as any. I sort of knew about the show when it was on...liked a few of the actors I knew were in it...but I never bothered to try and find it. Fox never really made it seem like it was a pressing need. by the time I DID see it, the show had been cancelled and I realized how awesome it was.

My guess is this sums up the feeling of probably 75% of everyone who says they love the show.

Probably more like 95%. Sucks we all found it too late, but the rewatching is rewarding, too. You pick up some of the more subtle stuff.

Ok I have seen like 1 episode of the show but have heard such good things that I want to start watching the series. Hulu has all of season 2 which is nice, but does anyone know where I can watch season 1 online?

Season 3 is great, but I thought it was easily the worst season. Seasons 1 and 2 may be my two favorite seasons of any sitcom ever.

ratings wise fox probably gave it one more season than it should have. it's a shame it didn't catch on until after it was too late.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I just don't get what's so funny about this show. I didn't like it at all. From the father's stupid twin brother, to the retarded (yeah Sarah Palin, I said it) brother, to the incest jokes, to the prison break out, to the ladder truck hi-jinks, it just felt forced to me. Like they were trying to hard.

It was too funny for a major network. Before it's time.

Really good show; consider yourself lucky if you have yet to see it. It's one of the funniest series I've seen (behind Curb and Seinfeld).
