Absolutely. It was the worst season and I'll only buy it on DVD when I need it to complete the collection. However, it was a necessary starting point in a series which saw the characters, the town and the comedy evolve each season. It also needed to first test the water with what people would like and not be too daring and break from the "dysfunctional family" mould. Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about how far it came from that first terrible season!
Some of the funniest quotes I use are from the first season, simply laughing at how bad the comedy was. "Listen to me boy! Grrrr"
