"I didn't give this show much of a chance when it first came on but ended up watching a few and got totally hooked. I had missed much of the first season, so recently I bought the 2 DVD set.
I must say that this series has gotten many very negative reviews and only lasted two seasons, but one thing I didn't know till I got the DVDs and listened to Binder and Walgner talk about the show was that it premiered on 9/11/2001, it never had a hope. It was upstaged by the biggest event of the new century.
After watching the whole DVD series I can say that this show did have a lot of heart. This struggle for a married man (of which I am one) to remain happy and loyal when opportunity runs rampant in his life is one I can relate to. Mickey has it all, a good job, smart perky wife who he obviously loves, but he is constantly tempted and pushed into outside relationships by his friends, hot young assistant, and his own insecurity.
I think Binder did an effective job of getting us married men thinking about all the crap that goes around in our heads every day. I'm not saying the acting or writing were Emmy quality, but it was a good, intriguing show and should be recognised as such."
Thanks to Mr. M. Binder, cast and crew, and everyone at HBO!

"Five words for five stars: Truthful, Visionary, Pioneering, Brilliant, and Funny. (Six words?) Very Funny. (Two more words?)
No more than this needs to be said about this series. Ever.
Eighteen total words? Call me a liar and give me a happy ending!"
Exceptionally Funny

"This was a show that HBO shut down way too soon!!!! Co-workers and I would congregate around the water cooler to talk about the previous nights episode. Now HBO has Period-Pieces of some historical relevance...a shame.
But, everyone should enjoy this show. Its not just about the main character. Its about his circle of married and single friends as well. Enjoy."
Now I know why it did not go well,,,,,,

"First this was one of the funniest series I had ever seen. Every episode was hilarious. Man, I do I miss seeing Sonja Walger every week. Perfect wife, mother, and man what an English temper. Well it was also revealed that this series debuted on 9/11/01. I guess America was not ready for a bunch
of horny married men enjoying nice conversations around the bar
