I didn't think it was very good. Most of the attempts at humor were based around bizarre, unrealistic, and degrading social stereotypes. It lacked the cleverness the first episode had.

I can agree somewhat that episode 2 did not have that special something.

An alternative idea I have is that many of use forget what it is like to watch one episode every week instead of getting the whole season at one time. It is painful actually and you really dissect each episode more.

I didn't see the first episode (and hence the whole show) as clever really. Full of rehashed clichés.

Is there even one semi-likable character on that show?
