If your a fan of east bound and down, arrested development, Will Farrell, or Steve Carrell id recommend giving this show a shot. Mr.D is unique, and kind of fresh compared to a lot of whats going on in a lot comedies these days.Ttho more PG and not as raunchy as many shows I like. However I find it clever and often endearing because of the children characters. Its great seeing the jokes fly over their heads or watching them exercise more maturity than the adults. While sometimes predictable Mr.D still manages to catch me off guard and give me a share of laugh out loud moments.
I was shocked to see some negative reviews trash the show. While it might not be for everyone what show is. If you don't like it id say it more about taste than quality. I cringe to think those reviewers might be the same people that keep the American networks pumping out generic laugh track sitcoms each year.
long story short give it a try. Its a fun simple show. It is really hitting its stride in the last couple seasons. Also the short episodes are great for a quick fix and easy to watch at your convince because you can stream it on Netflix or CBC's website for free.
