This show is horribly unfunny, which I'd attribute to the fact that the creators are from two equally horrible sitcoms. Some may say it's too smart for me to get, but I promise, I get the jokes, they're just not funny. And why in the holy hell would anyone pay 1.99 for one episode when they could get it free on Hulu or on demand. It's 22 minutes of your life you'll never get back, don't waste your time.

This show is garbage. It's co-created by one of the asshats behind Two and a Half Men for God's sake. But I'll say more. The jokes are flat, the 'nerds' are frequently the objects of derision rather than the deriders, the entire girlfriends subplot is sad (as a pathetic, transparent attempt to garner more female viewers), and the fact that Jim Parsons (nice as he may be) won any Emmy's over anyone from Arrested Development, It's Always Sunny, or even Parks and Recreation should embarrass us all.

1 star 4 Google for So Google wants $20 a season when Vudu and others have bundles for the entire series of 100 bucks. I am familiar with the Google greed and the bullying that goes on there but this is so ridiculous and easy to go to another vendor for the same product. Why would anyone pay Google anything for something you can get almost anywhere else for a fraction of the price. Google have no creative rights or skin in the game. It's pure profit to them. Go to Vudu and get the whole series!
