He’s a great actor, that’s what great actors do. Of course, we shouldn’t be surprised that Goggins can anchor a family sitcom. And while it may take a few moments, or even an episode, for the cognitive dissonance to fade, the best surprise shouldn’t actually be one.

And then there’s the Unicorn himself, Walton Goggins, of “Justified” and “The Shield,” of “ The Hateful Eight,” a delightful actor who is delightful on screen but who rarely plays people you might describe as delightful. It’s not the first one.) Then there’s the format of the show itself-a fast-moving, single-cam sitcom, something of a rarity for the network that brought you 54 seasons of “The Big Bang Theory.” There’s the surprisingly stacked cast (Rob Cordry, Omar Benson Miller, Maya Lynne Robinson, and Michaela Watkins) and the efficient and thoughtful approach to the pilot. First of all, there’s that title, defined here by a character as “that elusive creature that all single women are looking for,” a widower and devoted father who, because he’s only had sex with one person for the last 20 years, is “factory fresh.” Denizens of the internet, or of a certain lifestyle, may be familiar with an alternate meaning for that term.
