Just because someone likes this show does not make them crazy; it just means that it appeals to their particular brand of humor. And whether or not the show will be cancelled remains to be seen. I'd wait to see how the ratings are after 4 or 5 eps before reserving judgemen as to it's future.

Meth was pissed about the laugh track. From EW.com
Seeing Red
Method Man criticizes his Fox show. The rapper-actor says that ''Method & Red'' isn't ''ghetto'' enough by Brian Hiatt
The new Fox show ''Method & Red'' has gotten a negative review -- from one of its own costars. Method Man told the Los Angeles Times that the show isn't what he expected. ''This is frustrating for me,'' he told the newspaper. ''I'm trying to keep this show ghetto, and there's a way for it to be both ghetto and intelligent,'' he said. ''But it's not going that way.'' He also criticized the use of a laugh track, and said that the show tries too hard to pander to Middle America. Fox executives declined to respond to Method Man's comments, according to the Times.
The show, which costars rapper Redman, debuted respectably last week, scoring around 8 million viewers. EW's Ken Tucker praised the show's ''geniality,'' and the ''Daily Show'''s Beth Littleford's performance as an uptight neighbor. But he warned that it ''skirts pernicious cliches about rappers as booty-hunting sybarites.''

Exactly the problem I found - it was far too clean.

I'm still watching it, and still enjoying it as well. The only thing that(still) bothers me is the laugh track. Otherwise I think it's a good sitcom that could have a future. Then again, this is Fox we're talking about so you never know.

I heard about the show, and even saw a clip, which brought painful flashbacks of the time I saw How High. It has taken a long time for me to feel whole again, and I don't want to do anything to endanger the healing process by exposing myself to this program.
