It tries to hard to be funny ,like it's being forced, causing most jokes to fall flat, I can not stand the mom character the writing for this character makes her annoying, it takes time to develop chemistry maybe season 2 will get better
-
I loved this show and wished it had been on for many more seasons. Funny workplace and also mother/daughter issues. the acting is great and the dialogue too. highly recommend.
-
I think i might just don't get it, because i'm not american, and this is probably american humour. Did not find any of it funny.
-
Canceled right when it was finding its stride. Amazing show!
-
The show is absolutely hilarious.
-
not perfect but funny and loved the characters and dialog. acting was bad but still worth 4 starts, do not watch season 2. just re-watch season 1.
-
Amazing and fun show that must return ! Shocking this has not happened. BRING. THIS. BACK.

If I could have submitted this review without adding a star nothing would have been marked. I enjoy comedy shows and movies a lot. I never watched the show before and it appeared to be funny. The 1st season/1st show originally started out to be funny. For some reason I kept getting a feeling of racial connotations. I may be wrong, but there seemed to be a little emphasis ar times on, "Black's (African American) and Jews (Jewish). I chose to exit the show because I didn't understand where or how the throw off jokes fitted into the conversations. Usually there is something that would put one in rememberance of something to stimulate a joke. I understand comedy, but there were some obvious throw offs that were inappropriately thrown in.

One of the best sitcoms this decade!! Cant believe that this show was cancelled!? PLEASE netflix revive this show!

Lousy. Thats what you need if you only want a one word review. A more verbose explanation of the half star rating would be that its basically the same as 30 Rock, except terrible. The characters and stories are all hold-overs from 30 Rock but the actors are inferior, the writing is worn out, and for some reason they insist on using the "shaky cam" even though this is clearly not a documentary. The jokes are exactly the same type we saw on 30 Rock, so they are already old and stale, but they're also delivered poorly so you can really hate the dialog. Either Tina Fey has nothing left in her or she wasnt allowed to do the kind of series she really wanted. Either way, its a waste of time. Hopefully season 2 is much better.
