Funnier than any of the recent CBS comedies - but also darker, too, which may be why CBS passed - The Jim Gaffigan Show offers an ideal showcase for its titular star.

Jim Gaffigan doesn't seem to be acting at all. That may sound easy, but not all comedians playing themselves have pulled it off.

Consider this the anti-Louie.

I can't remember laughing out loud so consistently at a situation comedy maybe, um, ever.

Gaffigan exudes a relaxed, unpretentious air, no doubt helped by the dozens of TV shows and films on which he's appeared. But the dopey-guy persona he's crafted in his stand-up doesn't completely translate to a sitcom.

He tweaks both his nice-guy image and the family-sitcom formula just enough to make his show feel new - yet he retains the sense of familiarity that beckons viewers and keeps them watching.

Kneecapped by a desperation for inoffensiveness and broadly-written characters, there is quite literally nothing residing within the homogeneous world of The Jim Gaffigan Show that you haven't already seen before from a Jim, a Raymond, or a Tim.

[Gaffigan's] show's definitely a winner.

The Jim Gaffigan Show showcases its star at his exasperated best, putting his now well-honed spin on the befuddled dad genre from which many a sitcom has supped.

The Jim Gaffigan Show isn't the next Louie or Seinfeld, but it's low-key and charming, with a good balance of home life (the kids are truly adorable) and work.
