Season 1 Review: You probably can tell that this thing isn't bound for the sitcom hall of fame, but it's a good time. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan
Season 1 Review: It may not have the subtlety or sophisticated wit of "Arrested Development," but it's not supposed to. It's more a combination of "The Office" and "Four Kings" -- with really good music and a distinctive, energetic visual style. Read full review

Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert
Season 1 Review: The show moves along briskly, and it benefits from the lack of a laugh track. But you have to accept the relentless repetition of some flagrantly juvenile jokes to enjoy yourself. Read full review
