John C. McGinley is hilarious as the over the top self centered boss. Good mix of characters poke fun at both white and blue collar workers. Displays a humorous view of the different economic classes. Skylar Astin (Brody) struggles at times to overcome business decision that changes career path. Focus is on his climb to success and manage a relationship with a worker at the firm. Briga Heelan (Jennifer) I'm in love, very talented actor who portrays an average worker fighting off coworker advances in a funny way. Rory Scovel (Harvard) The coworker you avoid at all cost. You wonder if he should be jailed or committed for his comments and antics. The show is as funny as many major networks programming. The show IMHO focuses a little too much on sex so I don't recommend it for viewers younger than fifteen. NOTE: Writers it is not necessary to offend people of faith by using the Lords name in vain, I mean really? Atheists shouldn't miss it and I know faith based viewers won't. Just saying.

"A new sitcom by Bill Lawrence?! I LOVED SCRUBS! Woohoo! This will be great!" I thought as I sat down for the first episode. Oh how wrong I was... Not a single laugh or even smile was had for the tiresome 30 minute duration.Due to not being spoilt for choice where I live, I have now watched every episode of the first two seasons - watching this beyond the first episode started as a bit of experiment. Surely it will grow on me, right? Wrong. When I reached the end of the first season, I couldn't believe it had been renewed for the second and now I see there is a third coming in 2015. Crazy, considering shows like 'Awake' (not a comedy, but brilliant) got cancelled after one season.The only time this show has been able to put a slight smirk on my face is when Skylar Astin breaks into song or dance. Canned laughter is used more than Two and a Half Men - which is excessive in itself. This makes every (failed) punch-line in the show even more cringe- worthy. I would give a rating of 1 if it wasn't for my respect for John C. McGinley. Anything gets +1 star if he's in it, although the deep voice he puts on for this show isn't necessary or funny, and surely isn't going to be sustainable. Only in the final minutes of the final episode of season 2 do you see his voice return to normal, and this is where you catch a glimpse of how good he truly is.Unfortunately, he cannot carry the entire series.I can't remember the last time a sit-com has failed to make me laugh. Please cancel this rubbish so McGinley has a chance to find something new.

I have watched five episodes of this show and I will not be watching any more, I feel like I gave it more than enough chances to entertain me and the bottom line is I haven't just failed to laugh once at this show, I'm not entertained or interested in any of the stories and don't even like most of the characters. The lead actors are not very good at all.I am surprised this has a season two but that's OK, I don't have to watch it and obviously this show just is not for me. I am really disappointed actually because the guy who played the doctor on Scrubs was really good, and it's not like he is bad in this show but he just doesn't have any good material or characters to work with here. Real shame.

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.
