Stick with it! It's one of my favorite shows and it takes Jeff down a bajillion pegs in almost every episode. The rest of the cast are very funny and their timing as an ensemble is impeccable. D. was the same sort of ambivalent, but the Christmas episode in the first season really sold him on it--if you want to skip ahead a little, you might bypass some annoying material.
