Fun, well-crafted show.. uncertain future.

This show is really fun to watch. I can't tell who's better - the writers or the actors. The writing is great - tight and witty with plenty of sarcasm. The actors are very talented and work incredibly well with each other. You can tell they have a lot of fun together and it's fun to watch.

On some shows, if the writers have an "off" day, the whole episode is subpar. The same with any of the actors. But in the case of this show, I think if anyone has an "off" day, the rest of the ensemble could carry the show brilliantly.

If the chemistry and writing stay at current levels (or continue to get better) I can see this show winning a lot of critical acclaim. The only thing I wonder - just how much comedy can be milked out of the characters' current lives before the

writers have to start inventing bizarre plots just to get laughs?
