That's like, what, a banana maybe?
LOL where did I heard this one before? I think it was in a TV show?

Does the rest of the show as good?
If you found this funny, you'll absolutely love the entire show.
Just watched the pilot, I don't think this is a fun comedy show, didn't find one joke the entire episode. And tbh I just feel bad for Michael, the rest of the family is insufferable. If there's one thing I hate more than ungratefully spoiled entitled rich kids, it's seeing them taken advantage of good people, and they're both of these.
In all honesty, it gets better as it progresses. The humor definitely isn't for everyone. Much of the humor plays on itself, with references and throwbacks to past episodes.
That's also part of the charm of the show ... the entire family is terrible and Michael tries to do good by his son while also attempting to be a caring family member. I'd recommend to give it a bit more time before you give up entirely. There are lots of cameos from other actors (Henry Winkler, Liza Minelli, Charlize Theron) and you have the great Ron Howard as the narrator. If not, no biggie.
