Unbelievably funny.

I find it surprising that I think Rules of Engagement is funny. Because it's probably the most raunchy and unbelievable show on television. If you're familiar with it at all, I pose the following: Audrey (Megyn Price) would never be or stay married to someone as cheap, selfish and boorish as Jeff (Patrick Warburton). (Nobody would be amused over time by someone as stupid and near-moronic as Adam (Oliver Hudson). Nobody would be as alternately wise and dumb as Jennifer (Bianca Kajlich).  Nobody as intelligent as Timmy (Adhir Kalyan) would put up with the abuse of an employer like Russell (David Spade). And none of these characters would list among their friend someone as nasty, chauvinistic, sadistic and lecherous as Russell. Finally the idea of these people gathering regularly in a local diner a la the characters on Seinfeld is totally absurd. Yet the writing is very clever and despite all the completely illogical relationships, the show is very funny Did I read that it was cancelled?
