My mum recently got me into this show and I've only seen two episodes, but it is simply amazing. It's like British humour, but done by the Americans (sorry, but that's a really rare thing from my observations). It's able to be witty, rude and borderline smutty, but it does it in a manner that's so sophisticated and undercurrented (is that even a word?) that it's virtually impossible to be offended by it. The acting is great - especially that done by Justin Kirk and Mary-Louise Parker. For more info, of course:

And for a clip of perhaps the greatest lesson I have ever seen:

This show is really popular here in the states....too bad I don't watch TV.

Fantastic show. Tho I haven't seen any of season 3 yet. I don't think it's like british humor at all, but whatever. IMO, the real gem performances are Elizabeth Perkins and Kevin Nealon, but the entire cast is great. Awesome theme song too. :)

The mum from it is a slamming hottie.

I think this is where most of the show's popularity stems from.

How the hell is it British humor?

In the way that it's not in-your-face straight-up, exaggerated simple humour, which is the sort of crap we get from American TV over here?
