What a great ensemble cast, snappy writing, and pure fun... I didn't even know this show existed until Hulu brought it to my attention... First show I've felt like buying...

For television comedy, you can't get much better. Sure they were sharp but could have been sharper. But then they only had two seasons to tune into the characters. The casting was great and the execution by the actors was almost spot on; a little too much here and a bit not enough there. Each story was well written, thoughtful, original and clever. This show was not given a chance. All it needed was a smart audience (oh yeah, this is America)and a good time slot. This is an unfortunate loss that should have been allowed to blossom into its full potential. It is at least as good as "The Big Bang Theory". And, it dealt with contemporary issues in the workplace and corporate issues on top of that. Maybe the sponsors were scared of by some of the themes portrayed in these episodes.

This is a perfect example of a show cancelled before it should have been. The writers were incredible and the actors played their characters to comedic genius. It was slightly cheesy at points, but I'm pretty show that's the point. The entire show is so over-the-top you can't help laughing, especially the Veridian Dynamics commercials.

With my busy schedule, I review once a year and I just had to share my experience. This show is absolutely hilarious!!! So accurate in the way they make light of life in these times and on point with each line. Everyone plays their part so well. I'll stop here - just go watch it yourself...

Before the Big Bang there was better off Ted which was and still is one of the best comedies about Nerds and their social outcast of society and they fear off people with authority. All they ever want is to be friends with the cool guy. U MUST SEE THIS SHOW it is so funny

So disappointed this was canceled. Easily one of my favorite shows. Super funny and clever- have watched them over and over.

I was scrolling through the TV show queue and randomly gave this one a look...it was like striking sitcom gold! I have no idea why it only went for two seasons; the character chemistry is great, it's classic yet original, and keeps you hooked! Watched all the episodes in one weekend...

I was more devastated to lose this very clever and endearing sit-com than any other that has found its way off the air in the mid-to-late 2000's. Offering many laughs per episode, the jokes were so enjoyably specific to the situations the characters found themselves in, that they couldn't be cherry picked for 1 min commercials. Thus, one of its greatest strengths (basing its humor on each episode's plot) became a drawback when the very few advertisements were made. Considering it was cancelled during season 2, there was hardly time for word of mouth to get around.

I would rank this show with other intelligently written sit-coms such as 30 Rock: Season Three and Modern Family: The Complete First Season.

I loved this show when it was on. It's to bad that it didn't last. Portia de Rossi was insanely funny. The Veridian commercials before the real commercials were hilarious. The comedy was well off center. Which is what made it so funny. Thank god a company like this doesn't really exist. But, by watching this you may think it seems like a familiar government contractor. The cast was great. If I had to choose one thing that I didn't like. It would be that they tweaked the storyline with the characters in the second season. And,it was noticeable enough to see that the producers were trying to rush things along. As I said, too bad it ended. Funny show.

Snappy dialog, hysterical characters, great acting. What's not to like about this surreal parody of the corporate world? It's like a more upbeat version of Joe's job in Joe Versus the Volcano!
