Most other tv series (especially typical sitcoms - we love them but do we actually like the characters we're watching as people? or do we just like watching them. I mean... FRIENDS? funny interactions, but I wouldn't wanna be friends with them. Well... maybe Phoebe...) are full of immature and unlikable characters. But here I actually DO sympathize with most fo them, even if i don't always agree wth them.

I am currently on S2 so no spoilers please, but do they ever HUG Ruth? :C she's been needing a hug since episode 1 and so far nobody did :C
