    A very funny show

    A friend of mine got me started on "Less Than Perfect" and I'm glad they did. This show has one of the best casts on television, and the scripts are consistently funny. The stories seem character-driven, and the characters are great.

    As with News Radio (which Andy Dick and Patrick Warburton both appeared in), if you're not a fan of Andy Dick's, you may as well just turn off the set. He can either annoy the hell out of you or you love him. I happen to think he's a riot and always have.

    One thing I love about the show is its presentation of overweight women as sexy and attractive. I wouldn't call Sara Larue seriously overweight, but let's face it, she's not Hollywood thin. Yet she's adorable. Sherri Shepherd is cute as anything, as she always is, and can deliver a line like no one else. One of my favorite episodes was when they all took pole dancing class. A scream.

    Andrea Parker of "The Pretender" is as gorgeous as ever and very funny.

    I hope this show continues on the air.

    Quick, witty comedy

    This is a well done, quick, witty comedy that seems to improve as the cast begins to meld together. Sara Rue is absolutely wonderful. The writing is clever, and the production values good. Becoming my favorite series.

    Really funny!!

    This show is great good cast and great story line. The humor is none stop and actors bring the show to life. With Sara Rue being the happy go lucky secretary and upcomer Zachary Levi being the biggest yet cutest jerk this show is made to succeed this show only lacks one thing. It's time needs to be 8:00 instead of 9:30 that way i can see Zach an hour and a half earlier. This show was made for abc and i hope this show will continue for a long while.

    Rue rocks the 22nd floor!

    An an Australian we always have to wait for shows to come to us way later than they air in the US. The WB's Popular didn't come on until summer of 03 and I loved Sara Rue's portrayal of Carmen. So when Less than Perfect aired, I watched with heightened anticipation and I was not disappointed. Rue is now Claude (Claudia) Casey. A temp at broadcast station GNB that became the PA of anchor Will Butler (Roberts). Her best friends Owen (Dick) and Ramona (Sheperd) are excellent with their wacky characteristics. Roberts did a great job as superficial Butler until he left (end of season three). The cast is also filled with Pretender star Andrea Parker as vain Lydia, and Zachary Levi as Kipp or "Secretary". The addition of Will Sasso as Carl, a likable idiot and Patrick Warburton as power crazy anchor Jeb Denton were excellent choices. Less than Perfect is a happy 1/2 hour show definitely worth watching. But you better hurry if if its getting cancelled!

    Very good sitcom

    I caught Less Than Perfect during one of its reruns on Russian TV and was amazed how funny it is. The main character Claudia Casey (Sara Rue) arrives in New York and manages to get a position of a personal assistant to TV news anchor Will Butler (Eric Roberts). The show chronicles Claudia's triumphs and failures as she climbs the career ladder. Her two best friends – neurotic Owen (Andy Dick) and pleasantly plump Ramona (Sherri Shepherd) will teach her to survive in this "beware of your office mates" world. Zachary Levi and Andrea Parker portray model-looking Kipp and Lydia- two self-centered, ego-driven office villains who can not wait to see Claudia up and go. There is a lot of talking about relationship, dating, shoes and "how to shut up that guy standing near my cubic and speaking so loudly on the phone". Very funny and all actors are very good. All in all very good sitcom.
