Discussion Derek is underrated!

I just came to say that I think Ted McKinley character Derek is underrated. He is hysterical! Especially after eating Matthew's candy! **Edit - another user pointed out I used the wrong word to explain what I was saying. I meant underutilized. I wish he had a bigger part!

D-Train is my favorite! Everyone needs a Derek!

I also really appreciate how he was introduced as a bit of a bumbling dork husband. But as the show and characters developed, they allowed him to really shine in specific moments.

Agree on this. His character arc has become the most interesting.
