It has heart.  The characters are flawed but kind.  You like them and want to be friends with them.  

The heart of it makes me enjoy the show even more.  I've noticed it's something I really am attracted to in sitcoms.  For me it's similar to Parks and Rec in that regard.

that's exactly it. it would be so easy to have them constantly bitching about their current lot in life, but they don't really do that.

but of the 4 main characters only david is funny, and he's pretty funny. the daughter has one repeated joke and it's a tiny bit funny. neither parent is remotely funny.

and chris elliott, who is borderline genius, isn't even that funny in this show.

Didn't watch. 

Did Kimmel have any funny jokes about Karl Malone?

No, but this was interesting.

Take away - finish watching Schitt's Creek and start watching Succession.

I agree with all of this. David even gets predictable pretty quickly.
