Men at Work

This show's concept was very simple since the begining. The creators originally doesn't even wanted to plan this as a big thing. It definetly has a good type of humour, but it is mostly about close friends joking with eachother gently. Typical stuff, nothing new or groundbreaking. It is funny and sometimes even hilarious, the cast seems to be having a good time. Lot of clever punchlines. It has some creativity which brings enough reason to be on screen. Short but above average quality, there are many weaker sit-coms that survived more seasons than 3. The series have a great atmosphere, easy to love. It is not something for everybody but the show definetly found a group that just enjoys it very much. You sit down, watch an episode, laugh a few then you do something else. Some scenes are totally forgettable, but there are lots of memorable moments to look back to later.

This is a nice lighthearted summer comedy. It has great one liners and enough to keep you chuckling throughout the show. I'd love it more if it were on at 9 instead of 10 but it's worth staying up to watch. As a matter of fact, I'm watching it on On Demand now to catch episodes that I missed. It would need more substance to make it as a fall/winter sitcom I think but for summer, it's perfect. Danny Masterson and James Lesure make the show and are pleasant on the eyes! It's also nice to see an all male cast and also writers that aren't afraid to push the envelope. There are many times when I have been glad that I wasn't eating while watching the show because I would have had food spewing from my mouth (it actually happened once). I also think there's some reality to the show--they have said things on TV that I have said to my friends--race,sex, relationship, etc. things that seem taboo on standard sitcoms are not off-limits here and that's what makes the show great. I personally hope the show lasts because it is a great way to unwind after a mentally exhausting/draining day.

The show had potential to be a hit more like a lighthearted soulful Entourage. The cast includes four young male actors who work at a New York City magazine. Danny Masterson plays Milo who was just dumped by his girlfriend. There is his coworkers clueless Neal with a girlfriend, ladies man Gibbs and pretty boy Tyler in the cast. Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons played their wealthy boss. There are notable guest appearances like Laura Prepon and Kathy Najimy. It is a basic sitcom with brash language at times. It is entertaining overall. The cast do a formidable job and the writing could be better though at times. It is a likable sitcom with great potential. It aired on TBS for a short run of 31 episodes.

It has been a while since any of these guys have done anything. Danny Masterson plays the same character that he played on "that 70's show". This is one of the main reasons to go watch this show. It almost makes you think that if Steven had moved to New York or was developed with new media this would be the perfect handle. I was especially impressed by the show's ability to be open about the differences in relationship between a group of guys and girls. I have always been a fan of James Lesure. I do agree that he is a bit older to play the role of Gibbs but keep in mind that he does work for a magazine, and just like in "Just Shoot Me". He can pull of a womanizing photographer that gets a lot of action. Hope this show sticks so that he can have a regular gig. The idea is strong and I have yet to be disappointed, hope they can maintain the tempo and not lose it. Most comedies do by the time second seasons comes along.

This show is a hidden gem. The way TBS promotes it is not-so-great, they definitely do not show the funny parts, which is why it took me so long to tune in. They show the characters as extremely corny and promote it as a show only about guys "busting chops". But it is way more than that! Gibbs and Tyler are awesome (not to mention hot- for the ladies ) and all the characters interact so well. They also have great guest stars on this show! I hope this show gets picked up for season 3, because it is extremely funny and entertaining! One of the best episodes yet was the season 1 finale. Very clever! Give it a try- you will not be disappointed, I promise!!!
