I think they didn't give their audience enough credit.
I can't get past the whole 'a billionaire accidentally stumbles upon the house and agrees to let all these people he doesn't know live there with him all the time' thing. Aside from that, I don't like how lame/stupid/childish Ashton's character (see, I don't even remember his name!) is and yet he manages to bed every woman who walks across his path. Why do these women find his sad sack blithering attractive? I sure don't.
I think the show could have lasted a few more seasons if they had completely rewritten it. I've never understood how Alan can be a chiropractor and not be able to afford his own place. Why not have him sell the house and use the proceeds to rent an apartment for him and Jake? Why not have Alan become the main character and introduce some other secondary characters while he adjusts to finally living on his own?
This show will be done this season.
