It is interesting that "fat guy skinny wife" has been a sitcom staple for years, but you rarely see it go the other way.

I loved the idea of 'Kevin can fuck himself'. A sit com that shows the dark side of living with a fat asshole. Too bad the execution was not great - still good idea.

I got put off that show because it was billed as a comedy. If I didn't come in with the mindset I would get some chuckles, I'd probably have enjoyed the first episode more. It was grim.

I always saw it marketed for what it was-not so much comedy but dark humor at best. A woman fed up with a bumbling husband that treated her like trash yet everyone around her adored him. I loved it. I think it was the writers strike that killed it and I was sad to not see another season.
