I watched the trailer yesterday (three or four minutes long) and thought it was awfully unfunny. I just stopped halfway through and found myself very annoyed by Michael J. Fox (who I did enjoy in "The Good Wife"). It's a shame to see Betsy Brandt wasted here. Nevertheless, this will probably be a bona fide success for NBC as it is exactly the kind of broad comedy they think they need to have on their schedule. Fox's name recognition obviously doesn't hurt either.
I was going to give this a try regardless, because I love MJF. After seeing this and the trailer I'm really looking forward to watching. It looks hilarious and no canned-laughter is a big plus!
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.

Definitely will be getting this show a chance, it makes me smile at least which compared to some of the comedy trailers is a huge bonus
