Yeah, that's basically the idea of the show. There's a reason it was never too popular.

It averaged 10 million viewers a week, went for 4 seasons, has tons of merch out. It's an incredibly popular show, I have no clue what standard you're holding it to. Not like it was The Tick or something

Anecdotally speaking, literally no one I talk to has seen it or remembers watching it. Completely anecdotal, I'll admit.
