This show is a great TV show, though it may not be as funny as other shows out there, it still is a great show. Also, stop comparing it to "The Wonder Years" and "Malcolm in the Middle" this show may resemble those TV shows, it is not a complete rip-off of them. The "chubbiness" of the main character Oliver, adds to the more realism of everyday people, not everyone in the world is picture perfect.
