Where a lot of shows, even comedies, are about angst, 'Dharma and Greg' is very forgiving with the characters. The writers managed to create relatively realistic relationships (in comparison to what's usually on TV) with the most ludicrously stereotyped characters anyone could possibly make. They have stereotypes of all kinds in here, so everyone is bound to find some character he or she likes.
Like any show, it has its ups and downs, but overall it's a pretty good mix of everything. Some episodes are plain silly, some are romantic, some are just good fun, there's even a handful of angsty ones in there. It keeps entertaining, and although elements in the show are reused quite often, it rarely becomes tedious. Actually it makes a lot of sense, the characters in the show do develop somewhat, but just like real life, a lot of their character remains the same throughout all 5 seasons. And that means their flaws as well.
Anyway, I'd recommend this show to anyone who likes comedy, and doesn't mind extreme stereotypes. And while the show may seem to be just a lot of silliness, there are some surprisingly brilliant scenes in there occasionally.
