AM NO! NO WAY! IT'S A COMEDY! Maybe u would have 2 read scripts 2 see

But in nearly every episode you have, it seems there is drama and angst.
Such as
Episode 1 with the girlfriend drama
2: The shoes being fought over
3:A birthday was forgoteen, racist neighbors =/
4:

Daniel and Catherine go around getting money off passengers by pretending that they’re homeless.

The list is endless
