For a pilot, it isn't THAT bad. It's funny in some small parts. Amy Poehler looks like she is not exactly cut out for the role. It is very similar to the Office. The pilot is good, because it's free. If you like the Office, try to give this a try. Let's just see where it goes.

I have a very sarcastic humor however - so maybe you will disagree :) However, this is one of my favorite shows. I love the contrast of characters - and once you get to know them they are unlike any other show you've seen.

You can tell that, on paper at least, all the jokes should be funny. It also makes sense to center the pilot around Amy Poehler since she's proven she can be really funny. Her supporting cast looks like promising comedy talent as well.

Somehow, something was just missing. Looking back at early episodes of "The Office", that show also took a while to really get some legs on it. Hopefully this show lasts long enough where everyone gets the chemistry going and it gets really funny. Poehler came across as trying too hard, maybe if they start giving screen time to her supporting cast so it's a bit more even like "The Office" is now it'd help.

well, IDK if it's me or what but i just found this show really boring. I can see that it's reaching for a "dry-humor" type of style but it pretty well misses the mark. Oh, it does hit the "dry" but doesn't ever get to the "humor". I think it's maybe trying to be like that show Samantha Who? in that the main female character is flighty but really upbeat while her co-workers / friends are jaded. Unfortunately, the woman in this show comes across with some racist insinuations and does it in a way as to appear ignorant of her blunder. It just makes it more offensive. I won't be watching it again. Of course, this is just my personal opinion and some folks might find this show really entertaining so go on and watch this free one and judge for yourselves.^^
