Billable Hours

OK, this show isn't for everyone. If you're looking for a laugh track to tell you what's funny, you won't like this. Go watch Mike and Molly. However, if you like dry, oddball comedy that pushes boundaries, requires that you really listen to the dialogue and occasionally makes you do a double-take, asking "did they really just say ...?", then you'll like this. A lot.

"Did he just call me Sand?" If you can imagine this line of dialogue being funny, or at least are intrigued by how on earth it could be funny, this show is for you.

If you like the books of Christopher Brookmyre, you'll like this show.

Ignore the naysayers. This series is one of THE great sitcoms. If you don't get it, you don't really like good comedy IMHO. Great cast, great scripts, this has it all. Office sitcoms are a dime a dozen but this is a rare bird, a sitcom set in a law firm, that is incredibly witty and funny and cauatic and graced with three really talented and charismatic leads that you cant help but love. It's a standard sitcom format, not a pseudo documentary like The Office, but there is no intrusive laugh track, the leads are terrific and the supporting cast are just wonderful, grrat music amd a killer theme. This is really one of the best Canadian series I have seen, and hands down one of the most underrated and overlooked TV comedies of the 2000s. It deserves to be much better known and holds its own against any sitcom. 10/10 for me. I want to be Clark Claxton III when I grow up.

This show has been unnecessarily slammed, the average of a 3.5 / 10 rating is truly not doing this show justice. The latest season was truly hilarious with witty writing and timely snide comments that really make this show unique. I hope that previous postings and poor user ratings to not impact your decision to catch a few shows. Agreeably the sense of humor that this show brings to television may not be for everybody, but you'll have to admit - this series really takes "Political Un-correct" to a new level.

9/10 for me on Billable hours. I hope that Showcase continues to run this show and continues to add new seasons.

This show is hilarious for any modern office worker.

I trust it will become a classic like the movie 'Office Space'.

It's funny yet true how little actual work gets done, in our modern automated economy. They debate such things as parking spots, ghost e-mails, other pranks, and office chairs.

Especially for lawyers, who get associates to do all the work, then mark it up and charge you $500 per hour.

Those 'critics' that don't like this show likely never worked in an office before.

(or more likely never worked before.)

Well, contrary to the person in the first inappropriate and unneeded comment, I happen to LOVE this show. The writing, acting and everything else with this show is almost correct. The chemistry all of the actors have is simply amazing. (Though I would like to see tag's character do a little bit more.) And the last thing that I would have to say is that the writing is far more realistic in the fact that they all use curse words in their everyday conversations, just like the youth and young adults, and practically everyone else, of today do. I really love this show and am hoping for at LEAST 3 seasons! Also, it is needed to let everyone out there know that I want ever so badly to be a television writer, but have been to lazy and barely completed a script. But, after last nights episode of Billable Hours, I have found what was missing from myself to go all out and build my portfolio: passion. See, before watching last nights episode, I had all of these ideas in my head, but again there is the laziness. After watching the episode, I went to bed @ 11, and got up @ 12 am and wrote for an hour. So, in conclusion, I say watch Billable Hours, and please, PLEASE go into it with an open mind so hopefully you will be able to enjoy and fall in love with it like I and all of my roomies have.

Peace!
