I think it is one of the only, actual, creative shows on air right now. Rarely can you guess where the story is going.
It blends fantasy adventure (Pendleton Ward is obviously up on his Gygax) with a sense of humor that can get away with being absurd or subtle. This manifests itself in more than just slapstick and memorable characters, but with also with well developed dialogue and nonce words.
Also, there is an excellent balance between a continuous story and a world in which there are no direct consequences for actions. This allows characters to be malleable and for fun comparisons of relative power levels.
The show takes chances. It respects the intelligence of its audience and acknowledges the humanity of its characters.
