    This show has potential over time. I agree with srshep in the fact that its impossible to make a universal fit-all program, and this show was definitely made for a younger audience. I'm 19 and i find this show to be pretty funny, but sometimes the jokes do fall flat, and while i was happy to see Masterson back on tv, he is definitely the weakest link. James Lesure is certainly the funniestThis show has potential over time.

James Lesure is certainly the funniest of the 4. This show certainly is not perfect but don't expect an emmy winner, its a comedy directed toward younger men, if you dont fit that class, you most likely won't enjoy it. Hopefully it'll only get better if it lasts. 5.5/10… Expand

    Not nearly as good as "My Boys" or "Franklin & Bash", but it's do-able as something on the background while you're working on the computer, or playing your banjo, or reading a magazine. Masterson is the weak link.

    Sometimes dreams can come true. Other times they can go terribly wrong. After a painful 30 minutes of Men at Work, I was sure this was all wrong. I had been waiting for years to see Danny Masterson (Milo) return to a well written comedy, and even given the fact that this sit-com sounded as canned as they come, I still had my dreams.

But, I was wrong. Men at Work is loaded with sexual referrence, ready made situational set-ups, and every other cheap trick to write a show and still it is a nightmare. Thankfully I know that TBS will wake up and cancel this bomb. Then maybe the consideral talent involved with this show can move on to something worthy of their fine acting skills.… Expand

    This show has it's good moments. Many jokes however feel like they were written by a 12 year old. It is uninspired and bland. Just stick with The Big Bang Theory if u want actual funny.

    Men at Work is junk of the most disposable nature, a sex-obsessed comedy set at a phony-even-by-sitcom-standards magazine.

    None of Men at Work is funny, but the greater sin is how uninspired it feels.

    Rays of charm do break through the haze of the ordinary and obvious, even if just for a line or a line reading.
