    This show gets even better with time!

    Loved this show when it came out in '04 on Fox, even better to rewatch again on Prime. Thanks, Amazon.

    Dialogue is fast, honest, at times laugh out loud funny, other times will move you to tears. Great writing, wonderful cast. Leary hasn't received enough kudos for this gem.

    Love, love, love this show.
