I remember watching this show when it was first run on television, and loved it, so when I saw it on Hulu, I couldn't wait to watch it again!
After watching all five seasons in about a week (I couldn't watch it in bed, trying to fall asleep, because it would keep me awake!) I remembered how it disappeared so abruptly.
Elfman and Gibson have an amazing chemistry on the show and make their situation believable.
I love how well they play off each other, with Greg maturing into the role and learning to roll with Dharma's free spiritedness (?).
I also refuse to believe the rumors about why Gibson was fired from Criminal Minds. I wasn't sure whether to believe it or not, but after watching Dharma & Greg again, I started noticing him when he was kind of in the background and the camera wasn't "on" him. He would be smiling, laughing, and generally having a good time. And he didn't seem to be acting because the smile reached his eyes.
Gibson's Greg is the perfect foil for Elfman's Dharma and he plays her straight man so well, but with a dry wit. ( I always laughed out loud when Dharma would say to Greg, "Remember when I told you...?" and his response would be a dry, "Sure." Always made me laugh. Always! His comedic delivery is exceptional!
And Jenna Elfman! So funny, in a goofy sort of way. I wouldn't say she reached the level of Lucille Ball, because they offer two different kinds of comedy. Elfman, though, was on her way to becoming a great comedic presence.
This is truly a great, funny show and I wish it had gone on to a conclusion, rather than an abrupt ending, leaving everyone hanging.
