Didn't find it that funny to be honest.. It just felt like they were holding back on the jokes, and when they were joking, just seemed like they couldn't reach you far enough to make you laugh. Argghh, I'll have to see what happens next week when Matt comes in.
in a show like this set up is needed in the first episode, if I remember correctly big bang theory wasn't that funny in the first episode nor was Lost any good either
