I don’t do sitcoms, so my opinion on the matter is rather out there as I’m no qualified judge between them. I liked this one… although, I’m inclined to like office humor, tech development humor and highly awkward individuals. It seemed creative to me.

No way! TheTVaddict actually watched some television?! After weeks of ‘you be the critic’, I thought you were expecting us to do all the work!

I thought, for a comedy pilot, it was really good. Most shows I love right now, including The Office and 30 Rock, had weaker pilots and ended up up being brilliant. I thought the show really showed potential, despite not always bringing the funny. I’ll stick by it for atleast a season.

I know people who are typically not into sitcoms on any level who liked it. I forgot it was on half way through so I can’t really say how I felt about it. I’ll probably try to catch it next week. The pacing seemed wrong to me from what I did see. That is something that is often worked out as a show goes along though.

Agreed! B.O.T. was not funny. Although I will still be tuning in as I hear it gets better.

Thank you! I’ve been reading other sites praising this show and I don’t see why. I thought the pilot was really disappointing. I won’t bother watching again.

Also, I get her confused with Monica Potter and I really dislike her character on Trust Me. She was one of the reasons I gave up on that show. That might also be part of it.

TVA — I think she might be too perky for me. There is just something about her that rubs me the wrong way.

Ace,

Well said, although I do very much enjoy Andrea Anders (aka. The new Paula Marshall, aka. show killer)

Like you said, it has potential. So I’ll watch next week (mostly b/c there is nothing on against it) and see if it is worth putting in the rotation. But mostly it was just meh. There were a few times that I thought “oh that could be funny”, but did I actually laugh? No. And that chick who was on the horrible Joey kind of annoys me…
