I found this to be mildly amusing, but rather chintzy overall. There are a lot of stock characters - the ditzy but impassioned blond, the poor woman, the male interest, a few ethnic side characters. It's worth a look, to get a sense of the show, but this doesn't make me want to watch any more of teh season -- and it's a pilot!

I, like you, became interested in this show because the commercials made it look like a great compliment to "The Office" with it's same quirky humor. Unfortunately, that's true to a fault. It's nothing more than an unfunny rehash of the show, with Amy Poehler taking the role of Steve Carell's Micheal Scott. All of the other characters can be easily matched with their Office rip-off counterparts as well. I have only seen the first episode, and maybe I should have watched more, but I feel that a GOOD show will captivate you with just the first episode you watch. If you are looking for a great show to compliment The Office, watch 30 Rock. It's unique and has its own style that doesn't make you feel like you're watching a cheap cash-in.
