Rays of charm do break through the haze of the ordinary and obvious, even if just for a line or a line reading.
-
None of Men at Work is funny, but the greater sin is how uninspired it feels.
-
You might not want to have a TV relationship with these guys either. They're just not much fun on any level.
-
Not funny. [25 May 2012, p.73]
-
Not much about Men at Work feels fresh.
-
The turf [conversations revolving around sex] is so familiar in sitcoms these days that even funny lines feel recycled. Like Men at Work.
-
Mostly, though, there's just nothing terribly distinctive about Men at Work, so much so it's almost impossible to imagine how the pitch went without these actors to instill its tired one-liners with some modest zing.
-
Men at Work is junk of the most disposable nature, a sex-obsessed comedy set at a phony-even-by-sitcom-standards magazine.
-
Men at Work is mostly an unfunny, uninteresting look at four work buddies.
-
Collectively, the four men are derived from a hundred other canceled sitcoms about men being men while trying to navigate the single life.
-
TBS' entry only lacks "Sex and the City's" craft in writing, characterizations, plot, production and wit.
-
If this show was premiering even a decade ago, it might not feel as stale and out of place as it does in today's sitcom world.
