The Pilot’s Success
The pilot episode registered a strong viewership of 5.8 million, making it the most-watched comedy telecast of the 2025-2026 broadcast season. This launch was bolstered by an advantageous time slot, airing immediately after an NFL playoff game featuring the Los Angeles Rams and the Chicago Bears.
