FOX advertised the show like it was a goof ball show. So if you watched you didn't get what you wanted, and if you wanted a clever show you didn't watch because the advertisement didn't show it. I started from the beginning because I happened to be watching the show prior to the pilot.
It also happened right before DVD seasons got big. If it had started a few years later, it could have developed the college following during the show instead of after. It also was one of the first American sitcoms to go away from the laugh track IIRC.
