I found this show in the wake of How I Met Your Mother ending, and instantly fell in love with it. Breckin Myer is one of my favourite actors since the days of Can't Hardly Wait and Clueless, and Danny Masterson has been a favourite since That 70s Show. The idea of a show where both were involved was very exciting, and it absolutely lived up to the hype I had, and kept me engaged. The striking thing I found about the series was how believable the characters and their interplay was. The main cast act like the close friends they are, JK Simmons in his recurring role as Neil's boss/girlfriend's father absolutely KILLED IT. The writing on this show was very good, the plot lines were amusing and original (many relating to Milo apparently being based on things that actually happened to one or more of the writers), and I think if it hadn't been cancelled, or had been marketed better (and not been followed by something with the reputation of Big Bang Theory), it may have been the next big one. I rank this show up there with Seinfeld, Friends, That 70s Show and How I Met Your Mother. And after Firefly and Limitless I'd say this is the most upset I ever got about a show cancellation.
... View MoreMen at work is one of best T.V series out there.It is funny,full of stupid deeds and epic fails ever.The characters are well played by the cast.The story contains everything Love,Friendship,Sadness,Happiness,believe me when i say this there ain't nothing that is not in the show.It shows the epic behavior of friends inside a facility or organization doing their daily deeds in a funny way.Its funny how friends try to support their friends even when they make stupid choices and it is funny indeed.It is all about friends standing up for each other even when their hands are full for themselves.I loved this show
... View MoreThis show is the most painful thing I've watched in a while. The premise is tired, the writing is awful, the jokes are poorly written, delivered and are overall just childish, not to mention the fact that they just aren't funny. The acting is cringeworthy. I mean, this stuff wouldn't get a pass in the 90's, let alone this era! MAYBE you might find a 14 year old who might giggle at some of the wretchedly bad "sex centered" jokes, but most people will just roll their eyes and change the channel....like I did. Please TBS, do yourself and us all a favor and just switch back to The Big Bang Theory re-runs. None of "Men at Work" is funny, but the greater sin is how uninspired it feels. A comedy doesn't need a high-concept premise to work — TBS previously gave us a very solid entry in the pals-hanging-out genre with "My Boys" (even the gimmick that the main character was a woman was never the point of anything) — but it needs to have some kind of point of view about its characters and their world, and give you evidence of why you want to hang out right along with them. And the "Men at Work" pilot never offers any of that. The guys smile a lot and laugh at each other's antics, but it's forced mirth; there's never a sense that they actually enjoy each other's company, or even met before the actors sat down for the table read of the script.
... View MoreMaybe I was too hard on this at first. I had a bad day and things weren't going my way; so I ended up watching this show to help me feel better. As the show went on, I felt worse, I watch comedies to forget my day and laugh a bit, the writing was boring, and the performances were flat(canned laughter is a pet peeve of mine and it sealed the deal); all in all it was just uninteresting. This show needs to die as soon as possible. TBS, not funny, NOT FUNNY.Just stay away unless you're a masochist. If you like pain (oh this was filmed in front of a live studio audience, but they didn't laugh so the canned laughter was added) then have at it. This is your show. But if your brain still works flee.
