Yeah, what Ricky said. The first episode didn't pull me in, either, but it's all setup -- the show is purely character-driven, which I love, but it takes a little time to get them established enough to really work. Once it does, it manages that particular magic of making you laugh just with a background reaction shot or a few beats of silence. Or it did with me, at least. Keep going a bit longer. I went from "huh?" to grinning just at the first few notes of the theme song (especially as I began to see that every moment in that opening animation is eventually explained).
