* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The show actually got a decent amount of support from the network, considering it lasted 3 years despite being rather expensive to produce. Some have theorized that FOX simply did not know how to effectively advertise the show, Emmy winning or not. It is basically about a family of egotistical yuppies where [[OnlySaneMan only one is sympathetic]], Michael, and the [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagist rest are not]]. This was pointed out in the third season by Michael "Maybe we aren't as likeable as we think we are."
