Well I happen to love Home Movies. I recently borrowed the Season 1 DVD from a friend of mine and got to check out some storyboards and commentary and an interview with Brendon Small. Who is now my ultimate crush and I sent him some fanmail.
I think the genious in Home Movies is the simple humour, and the immaculate use of timing. The dialogue comes so naturally that it doesn't seem as contrived as every other show that has ever been on TV. Well, there are a few that have timing that is almost as good, but I think Home Movies is sort of in a league of it's own insofar as how casual and natural the (bizarre) dialogue comes out.
