The original series. We started at the beginning.

Yes, I've watched it with my wife, but it's not because of that, I just find most of the jokes to be just ok. Every once in a while there is a really hilarious and subtle line (last night I LOL'd to Oscar's double-entendre "maybe I'll put it in her brownie"), but I don't find it to be as witty as so many people have led me to believe.

Ah yes, that is a good one:

Michael: My mom is very stressed out, and, uh, she needs something that I can’t give her. Um… maybe a little “Afternoon Delight”?

Narrator: Oscar thought that Michael was referring to a particular brand of cannabis named “Afternoon Deelite,” a strain famous for slowing behavior.

Oscar: Well, sure. The question is, which way do I try to get it in her?

Michael: I don’t need any details.

Oscar: Maybe I’ll put it in her brownie.

Michael: Hey!

BTW, I would love to watch the show without the narrator. I bet it wouldn't suffer for it.

I think Ron Howard really adds to the show. A sort of omnipresent Opie.
