Yes, the show contains some of the most original humor and meta-comments that have made it on network TV in years! One of my personal favorites come from an episode last year in which Dave and Maddie are on a train with a bunch of mystery writers (sort of one of those "there's been a fake murder and the game is to solve it only now there's REALLY been a murder and what are we going to do? type ot plot). In the climactic scene in which Dave reveals the murderer's identity, he is holding this letter-opener, which he throws down for effect into a table: CLOSEUP of LetterOpener, quivering. Dave: I bet you're wondering how I did that? Maddie: I'm wondering WHY you did that! ...Or maybe you had to be there.
