This show deserved all the Emmy's that went to Friends, Will and Grace, and Everybody Loves Raymond.
A mediocre JSM was better than any episode of friends. It doesn't get any better than 'Slow Donnie', 'Maya's Soda Prank', 'The Murder Mystery Game' or the 'Thanksgiving episode'. Dennis's marriage to Adrian was hilarious. The most underrated comedy I can think of. NBC's cancellation of this show, was the beginning of the downfall of that network. David Spade is nothing short of comic genius I would equate to a Steve Martin. There were times where there was more variety in his facial expressions in one scene, than entire performances of academy award winning actors.
Wendie Malick is just as amazing. Her lovable cluelessness deserved all the Emmys given to Karen from Will and Grace. The scene where she starts crying, trying to repair Vicky's and Maya's broken friendship is brilliant. She goes from pretending to cry to a state of critiquing her own performance in a split second.
Enrico's Elliot is so subtle. He makes you completely believe a regular looking bald guy can be such a playboy. His character could have been so ordinary if he wasn't such a great actor.
George Segal was perfectly cast as Maya's father. Their parent child relationship kept the show down to earth.
This show deserved all the hoopla and send off too that Seinfeld and Friends received.
