i opine...
Let me say it to start: I love Anita Barone. The clips seem somewhat funny, but I think it's more "Grounded for Life" than "Roseanne." We've also got another gimmick: "Survivor"-style confessionals where the cast breaks the fourth wall and bitches directy to us. At least it's not another voiceover.
the breakdown
  Why'd Fox put this live action sitcom right in the middle of their Sunday Animation Block? I realize they really don't have another place for it, but just doesn't fit. The old Fox under Gail Berman didn't generally yank stuff quickly, let's see what the new Fox with Peter Ligouri will do. It's not great, but I think it'll hang around.
