About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want fast, clean, old-school slapstick and familiar comedy routines in a cozy sitcom setup, like I Love Lucy; Not for you if you need tight stories or dislike broad, repetitive gags.

Pros: nonstop slapstick routines; warm, silly world; family-friendly laughs | Cons: thin, loose plots; repeated classic bits; some characters annoy
