Revealing mistakes: In the last episode, when the brothers open the locker and take the suitcase full of money that their father left for them, it is the same locker that Lowell opens in the first episode to get the first suitcase their father left. Lowell only takes out the one suitcase. moreQuotes:
Casey Chappel Davenport: We're not having a big sandwich!Brian Hackett: [slightly annoyed] This is Nanucket, its not San Francisco. We are a simple people. We fish our waters, we till our lands, we eat a big sandwich.

I never watched the show when it had its run on NBC. I just recently started to check out the reruns on USA, and I really enjoy it! It's a very funny, well-written show with a great cast, led by the great Steven Weber.
Actually, I started to feel curious about the show after watching the movie "Sour Grapes." It's a hilarious movie (if you haven't see it, please check it out!) that's written and directed by Larry David, the co-creator of my favorite show "Seinfeld." Weber was great in the role, and he just has exquisite timing.
Well, I started watching the reruns on a regular basis, always looking forward to them to get some big laughs. Tony Shalhoub is another fine actor, and he is the best out of the whole supporting cast. His phony accent and outrageous antics are hilarious. Thomas Haden Church, from the short-lived but hugely funny sitcom "Ned and Stacey," is also very talented, and he's a joy to watch.
If you, like me, never got the chance to see the show on NBC, please check it out on USA. It's an absolute riot!
My score: 8 (out of 10)
