    As sitcoms go, this one is truly funny. I never had the chance to watch it when it was running on prime-time (unfortunately) but Lifetime is running it now and that's been awesome. Comedies about the workplace (in this case, a "CNN-like" news corporation) are usually funny because the writers don't have to stretch that far to get humorous story lines and bizarre characters. In the case of "Less Than Perfect", all of the characters are funny as hell, whether they're the "good guys" like Claude, the "villains" like Kipp, Lydia or Jeb, or the hilarious nut-jobs like Owen, Ramona and Carl. Good or villainous, you end up both liking and laughing at/with all of them. The casting is superb, particularly the comedically gifted Sara Rue,the wonderfully acerbic Zachary Levi, and the just plain funny Patrick Warburton. Andrea Parker is another surprise comedic talent as the viper-ish Lydia because she usually does serious drama roles so this shows her great range. The rest of the actors in this are so well cast in their roles it's hard to imagine anyone else playing those parts. I wish I'd seen this show when it was on in it's original time slot but I'll just have to settle for watching the re-runs of this excellent little comedy on cable. Too bad it only lasted 4 seasons.

    A friend of mine got me started on "Less Than Perfect" and I'm glad they did. This show has one of the best casts on television, and the scripts are consistently funny. The stories seem character-driven, and the characters are great.As with News Radio (which Andy Dick and Patrick Warburton both appeared in), if you're not a fan of Andy Dick's, you may as well just turn off the set. He can either annoy the hell out of you or you love him. I happen to think he's a riot and always have.One thing I love about the show is its presentation of overweight women as sexy and attractive. I wouldn't call Sara Larue seriously overweight, but let's face it, she's not Hollywood thin. Yet she's adorable. Sherri Shepherd is cute as anything, as she always is, and can deliver a line like no one else. One of my favorite episodes was when they all took pole dancing class. A scream.Andrea Parker of "The Pretender" is as gorgeous as ever and very funny.I hope this show continues on the air.

    This cute little TV show is about an office and the crazy antics that go on there. The characters are charming from Sara Rue to Andy Dick. The premise is that the protagonist is "less than perfect" at a pantsize of 10. (Didn't you guys know? A size 10 woman is MORBIDLY OBESE in today's Hollywood????) Well anyway. I think the show is great. It is a breath of fresher air since we lost the fabulous Seinfeld. I love how the writers manage to keep nearly all the story lines in the office. I think we all could use an office atmosphere like this with such nice coworkers and a full service cafeteria on-site. I hope this lasts for many more seasons.

    Less Than Perfect is just a delight. I stumbled on it in midseason and it reaffirmed my faith in sitcom writing (who'd have guessed ABC could do it?). Really, this show rivals NewsRadio and early Will & Grace in the way that the cast is so well-integrated; Sara Rue has impeccable comedic timing and is an engaging lead character, Andy Dick returns (thankfully) to Matthew-esque weirdness, and the two snobs hit all the right notes along with the rest of a strong cast. It's just a smooth, well-acted, well-written show...and laugh-out-loud funny. Am I gushing? Well, yeah. But it deserves it. I just wish there was more buzz.
