SnoopyStyle Katie Wendelson (Briga Heelan) has been stuck producing puff pieces on MMN's The Breakdown with flighty Portia Scott-Griffith (Nicole Richie). After a friend's funeral, her Jersey mom Carol (Andrea Martin) is inspired to chase after her dreams and gets a job as difficult anchor Chuck Pierce (John Michael Higgins)'s intern on Katie's show. Greg Walsh (Adam Campbell) is the show's producer and Justin (Horatio Sanz) is the editor.Creator Tracey Wigfield comes from writing and producing 30 Rock. This is a similar show but a step down. The lead Briga Heelan is a pretty woman with some comedic skills. Of course, she is no Tina Fey. Veterans Andrea Martin and John Michael Higgins deliver some solid wackiness. This is good network sitcom but it is nothing compared to 30 Rock. Even the addition of Tina Fey cameo does nothing to elevate it further. Two half seasons is not a bad run for this type of shows.

sheasummers-37535 The mom is just too annoying. the show revolves around her. i hope season 2 has less of her.

jhuebel It's not going to win an Emmy or anything, but it's a lot of fun to watch. This isn't a turn-off-your-brain comedy either. It's clever. You have to be paying attention to catch all the jokes. My only disappointment is that season 1 is only 10 episodes. I'm looking forward to season to next year.

Bigboy88 I am usually not a big critic especially if it's comedy I just have one requirement the show must make me laugh and I surely did do lots of laughing here the mom is hilarious and heartwarming just gotta love that lady the rest of the news crew aren't too shabby either the good family values of the show only increases my love for the show NBC has a new hit here
