One of the mediocre sitcoms the '90s put out that got hailed as a
classic merely because of the dearth of good comedy around, There's
only so much mileage you can get from the premise "hey, this
character's really thick - let's all laugh at him!", and My Hero did
it better.

 and Spaced.

Lost interest after the first couple of episodes. The surreality was
fun for novelty value, but for something done as a comedy it wasn't
actually funny.
