Suburgatory- am I the only fan here on DS?

What an excellent find, single dad and daughter move to hell (Surburban New York) and into the land of the Stepford clones.

Never expected much but i am pleased with it so far.

Insufferable pilot, the voiceover narration was teeth-grindingly bad with the female lead every bit as vacuous as the characters the show ham-fistedly tries to satirise.

I'm not hard to please when it comes to sitcoms, and I thought this would have something going for it what with Hines and Tudyk in the cast.

Please tell me subsequent episodes improve on the opener?

If you didn't like the first episode, you probably won't like the rest of the season.
Personally I'm really enjoying it. 2nd best American Sit com for me

I gave the pilot a shot but realised it wasn't for me and switched off halfway through never to acuire further episodes. That said i am hard to please when it comes to US sitcoms and presently I am only enjoying Modern Family, Community and Raising Hope.

That said last year I did watch the entire run of Better with You and really enjoyed it but mostly Im into US sitcoms like Community, Arrested Development and Better Off Ted all quirky in their own way.

I do enjoy it when I remember to watch it, though it's not one of my must sees

This show is so good. Best new comedy (along with New Girl) this year.

Ryan Shay is clearly the best character.

I enjoy but also don't have it on my must watch list.

Reminds me a bit of a sitcom version of Mean Girls.

I watched it until the winter break, I enjoyed it but for some reason didn't return it, I've heard it's got even better so will give it another go when it starts on E4.

I checked out the pilot a few months ago and it was funny. I'm not sure whether to wait until E4 airs it in the summer or just catch up on my days off using other means..

I'm only on episode 16, but I love it. It's one of my favourite shows.

It's a really good show. I expected to zone out after a few episodes but i was coming back every week. It sometimes tries a bit hard to be funny but it knows when not to get too over the top. Very good show.

I enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the surreal but grounded feel to it, And it's about the only comedy recently that doesn't rely too heavily on sex jokes...

I think it lost its way toward the end of the season with Alicia Silverstone's character but it really is hilarious.

Suburgatory will finally receive its UK premier on E4 Tuesday 17th July at 9:30PM making a nice partner to New Girl. However the 9:30 slot on Thursdays will be a New Girl repeat.

I noticed E4 have begun to trail it at every possible opportunity. They have however been editing the condom packaging out of the advert though...
