    Formulaic BS. TBS has made a habit of shoveling out sitcoms reminiscent of the worst of 1980s (Sullivan & Son, Men at Work, insert any Tyler Perry sitcom). Pass!

    Good with the possibility of becoming very good or excellent. I've seen the first two episodes so far. The inter-character relationships have been well-developed. Mr. McGinley is in a role that seems tailor-made for him.

    The show has a hint of IT Crowd in it, but I don't consider that to be a bad thing. I would have given the show a solid 7 in my rating if it were not for that    Good with the possibility of becoming very good or excellent. I've seen the first two episodes so far.

    When the jokes are hit and miss, McGinley and Scovel can easily salvage them. While the chemistry between Astin and Heelan isn't really palpable, both characters grow on you after a couple of episodes and everybody else in the cast also manages to elevate the material whenever it falters.

    It's the best original comedy TBS has yet produced--which may not be saying much, but given the mostly lousy track record among broadcast sitcoms this fall, it's hardly bargain basement.

    Most of the young, relatively untested actors in Ground Floor are not nearly as talented at creating endearing characters; in the first two episodes the characters are mostly just ciphers.
