The first few seasons were very good. Like many shows, they stretched it a couple seasons to much instead of ending it gracefully. At the time it was fairly cutting edge (for the networks) with a gay couple, dysfunctional parents, etc. If that sort of thing bothers you, you may not like it.

Be sure to start at the beginning, don't just jump into the middle

Well that’s disappointing.

After seeing this I thought it might have some potential...

I would be careful of a review of "garbage". Shows don't stay on as long as MF without having some merit. I would watch the first 4 or so and see what you think. For me I thought it was a pretty funny show.

In what way was it garbage? What was bad about it? Was it the lighting? The scripts? The theme, the actors? Wardrobe, setting, topics presented in each episode?

Verbs in sentences please.

Enquiring minds want to know.

One of my favorites. I found it very entertaining, especially the earlier seasons. Cam and Mitchell were my favorite characters- their dialogue was hysterical.

It used to be a great show. I have not watched it for the last several seasons - no particular reason, other than it did not seem to be quite as funny.

If you want a really funny show, try Schitt's Creek - from the beginning. And stick with it through the first few episodes. It gets funnier after that.

Liked it for a few years................then as a lot of shows go, I they had a hard time maintaining the funnies.

As with a lot of shows, the growing children change the dynamics.
