Watercooler: Is Suburgatory Worth Going to?

Suburgatory Type of loved that one. A great deal. We are unsure whether it Suburgatory's opening shot from the Talbots-bedecked mother rapping in a red-colored light, our prime school glee-club joke (filled with dork inside a motorized wheel chair and cheerleader uniforms) or even the not-too-snarky wit of Jane Levy's upended teen, but this comedy concerning the Altmans, a father-daughter duo who move from Manhattan towards the 'burbs is much more fun than the usual frapp-filled trip to the mall having a cosmetically enhanced mother. Starting off last evening included in ABC's already winning Wednesdays (oh, and welcome back, Happy Being!), the sitcom is kind of the anti-The Center: Both of them share the voice-over idea, but in which the Hecks are frequently affectionate and mildly serious, the Altmans are acerbic and sometimes extremely apathetic - without having to be off-putting, that is key. Add in a Red-colored Bull-fueled barrage of sight gags and place-on exaggerations of suburban existence, and that we have every reason be hopeful with this new kid around the comedy block. Plus, are we able to have an "amen" that Jeremy Sisto has finally found a awesome-father role worth Clueless' Elton? How about you? Is Suburgatory in your Must-Watch list?
