    This show is hell-a-lame. So not funny. I hate it so much I'm not even sure what to talk about first. There's absolutely nothing about this show that I like, literally not one thing I can think of. Well except for one.The older guy in the show, the boss, I like that guy. The actor from the much superior TV show Scrubs (even though I didn't love that show or get it as much as my friends). He is obviously a talented comic actor and he deserves much better than this show. That said not even he is very good in this but he obviously has proved his talent elsewhere and shouldn't be blamed. The big problem is that he has nothing and nobody to work with.The acting is terrible. The lead is gratingly awful and couldn't deliver a joke to save his life. The supporting cast (hot female, two idiot male co-workers) are almost as painfully unfunny as him. Especially the dweeb with the facial hair. They're all doing caricatures and only the actress is not so awful that I have a painful physical reaction to seeing her or hearing her voice, unlike the others.I won't even mention the writing because I'm not sure there is any, other than to say it is horribly bad and the jokes are all predictable and all less funny than the average third grader's jokes.I'm not sure who this actor is or why he is the star of a comedy TV series but you need to get him off my TV as quickly as possible, or I will die.

    Rory Scovel is one of the most brilliant comedians working today. I have had the blessed opportunity to see him live and he is a non-stop tour de force as a comedian. Coming to this show with an expectation of any kind that you will get some sort of Scovel magic, I was sorely disappointed. I was so glad that Rory had found a show to work on and now I am just sad that his talent is being wasted on this garbage. This show basically is the show that Lisa Kudrow is mocking on The Comeback. A nonsense show that cheapens sex and humanity by giving it no soul or value. It also cheapens what it thinks of its audience by believing they are foolish enough to want this drivel. In the age of Top of the Lake, The Sopranos, The Wire, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, House of Cards, True Detective (I could go on and on) ... it is difficult to believe a show this bad could actually still exist, much less warrant a second season.

    I saw the trailer on TV and decided to watch the show because of Briga Heelan.The show has a good cast and a simple enough premise of an office comedy. Characters aren't really over the top, although a few have really strong personalities. My biggest surprise was seeing John C. McGinley, who plays Dr Cox in Scrubs and I loved his character in that show and he plays something similar here. I had a good laugh watching this show, and felt entertained through its entirety. I have no idea why people are rating it 1/10, at least be honest with yourself and give this a 6-7/10 which it deserves when compared to some of the other supposed top comedy shows that are out at the moment, like How I met your mother which has gone completely downhill. The three main leads have good chemistry together and I feel like as the show builds upon itself and we get to know the characters more, it will only get funnier.

    This show has potential, and I enjoyed all of the cast members with the exception of the main character. Skylar Astin is just another milktoast ho hum amateurish actor with little charisma and even less acting ability. Cant we have a main character that people want to root for? I want to preface this next statement by stating I am Jewish. Having said this, does every new show have to have a main character that is 5'6" and Jewish? It gets really old and this Lipstein guy has to be related to someone, he cant be the best option they could find.I also think the first 2 episodes were good, but much too formulaic. The jokes often seemed much too set up and contrived and not spontaneous enough. I would like to think if they worked on this a little more I would tune back in, but honestly, the main actor isn't going anywhere, and because of it I expect this sitcom to last no more than a season or two.
