I do end up loving Friday and it seems like it's totally under everyone's radar. It's not revelutionary or anything, but it's straight forward fun and for whatever reason I always end up tickled by how the gameplay and theme were integrated.

Clank Legacy has been an absolute blast for my wife and I (we each play two characters). I've been a big Penny Arcade fan for ages so the humor hits my sweet spot, and the legacy aspect of keeping the gameplay light and steadily adding a bit more complexity each round as you "earn" it was perfect for my wife who's a much more casual gamer.
I backed the 2nd season on kickstarter just recently and it looks like they're leaning even more into the story aspect of legacy gameplay so I'm hoping it still hits the right balance for us.
There is a fair bit of quality that can go into making a GOOD purely fun thing, and even when it's pure schlock there's no shame in that. Some times you want a steak, sometimes you want a burger. Both can be good or bad in their own ways, and neither is better than the other.
