To make this music related, I will have to say that they did have an 
interesting selection of music, on the show.

I don't think Fox made any large effort to push the show.  They may 
have aired the pilot twice, but all in awful slots.  They never 
bothered to put it temporarily in a good time slot, after a well 
watched show, which sometimes they do with shows when they are first 
aired.  They also didn't put a lot of money into advertising it, like 
they've done with other shows.  They basically thought it was going 
to fail, so they didn't do that.

This type of show shouldn't have been on Fox in the first place.  It 
was out of place.  It's the only show that I've watched on Fox in 
years.

One of the problems was that Jaye's family was well off.  Not working 
class, like other shows.   And so Jaye may be screwed up and has a 
working class job, but you don't feel any sympathy for her and her 
situation.  She's working a crummy job which she hates, because she's 
decided to do so, even though she has the means to get more schooling 
and/or get a better job.  When you have millions of people out of 
work, this isn't exactly going to score many points.  The only reason 
to feel sorry for her, is that she has these animals pestering her. 
But anyone in real life who had this happen to them, would either go 
for help, or believe it's a religious thing, and change their life 
around.  She does neither, except drink more.

Nevertheless, I really liked the show. :)
