"show about nothing"? Sticks in my mind it was about the interactions of friends, family and bosses.

So, what did you learn from it?

I too have weird friends and friends that think I am weird but we've all stuck together in spite of our weirdness...or maybe, because of it.

It on occasion does get stuck in the doldrums but always manages to catch a breeze.

You pretty much have it there in a nut shell. I still think it was a sitcom about nothing. If your friends really knew you, they would KNOW that you're weird not THINK you are. All my friends KNOW I am weird. The thing is just go with the flow.

I think, VR, you're stuck with the "advertised" premise of what they (the producers) called 'a show about nothing'.

Stees, if "the producers" were promoting produce instead of a thread destined to fail, would the produce still be saleable?

I completely agree with the producers, it was a show about nothing.

Although we may have learned things from the show.

Sticky wouldn't be my first choice of words to describe some of it.
