Would I like for Mr. Iglesias to be funnier? Or, at times, especially funny at all? Yes. But I'm a sucker for "well-meaning," especially when it's warm and inclusive.
Perhaps it is just due to the animated nature of its lead to sell what would otherwise be a rather bland sitcom, but Mr. Iglesias works. It's funny. Hacky at times, but funny nonetheless.
Every bit the conventional multicamera sitcom that "Kotter" was. Take away the dating-app jokes, and the humor is, if anything, blander and more predictable, the jokes more obvious, the reaction shots more ubiquitous.
