As I have said in other reviews, when it comes to comedy, TIMING IS EVERYTHING!!!
I loved all of the cast, the '60s setting, the inside jokes. It started off fairly well. But it got tedious after a good start. The Very end got better.
Comedy has to keep you guessing and spring jokes on the viewer when they aren't expecting it. It has to 'keep you off balance'. It has to flow, without a mass of 'dead spots' that seem like they were created by a committee. Unfortunately the writers didn't seem to know which audience segment to play to. Boomers who lived the '60s, today's adults or just kids. It did not work for all three at once.
I was expecting a quick, smooth paced, funny comedy like the fantastic Seinfeld TV series. It didn't quite make the grade.
