Kind of -- but Lennon brings a physicality to Felix that Niles wouldn't dream of.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

I tried to watch a couple of the early eps, but found them painful. Has it found its voice better? I'd be pleased to hear it because it seemed like such a waste of Lennon. And Perry. And Brown for that matter.

I hated the pilot and never watched again.

Yeah, Fred. I could see that, but they could get together and share an opera box or something. Niles is more contained, but they both have big vocabularies and got teased in school and know their way around a kitchen.I wasn't sure about Perry's Oscar, given that the original character is much more of a man's man type, but I think the current Madison's sloppiness comes more from being "paralyzed by not caring very much"-- I think it works. I like it, but I was still shocked it was#10 in the ratings a few weeks ago--maybe people like comfort food? My favorite comedy this year is probably "Younger", though. Rarely has generational humor worked out so well, imo.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My mom really likes it! I was shocked because I had heard nothing but bad things. She particularly likes Felix.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Agreed that Felix and Niles would likely be friends. At least until yoga class starts.
To keep the Frasier comparisons going, I think the father would have been friends with Jack Klugman's Oscar. He might be willing to have a beer with Perry's Oscar, but I think he'd lose patience with the cynicism fairly quickly.
As for the ratings, I'm sure that the time slot after The Big Bang Theory doesn't hurt.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm WAY behind the rest of the world, but we're watching Parks and Rec on Hulu, and currently in S2. LOVING IT.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So, I should probably be outside making the most of the not scorching hot weather, but sometimes I need to take my Day of Rest very literally, and today that means watching all of Jane the Virgin that Hulu will show me and then buying the season on iTunes because I cannot wait to see more. Love.
