It took me a few tries before it finally clicked. Went from something I didn't understand to an absolutely hilarious experiment in satire and meta-humor.
Danny DeVito makes the show tbh. They would have probably been canceled after 3 seasons of not for him coming in and punching everything to the max. I remember him saying something about "this is the last thing I'll do and I'm not saying no" so the writers just continuously added ridiculous traits to his character and he rolls with them.
Also, the evolution of the Rickety Cricket character mirrors the shows decent into abstract absurdity. It's SNL, but actually funny and pointed.
I keep trying to get into that show and I just can't. Love the meme's that come from it though.
