dwright_1234 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.

budman85 Anyone who has ever worked in an office environment will enjoy it.When I began watching the series, I wasn't too sure how it would be. I was expecting slapstick, or something slow.. it's based in Toronto.. so I wasn't expecting it to be too funny. I was pleasantly surprised. The cast works, the stories are quick and funny.If you've seen other shows, like The Office (BBC or NBC), or Office Space, those were kind of dry compared to the humor in this show. I felt right at home. Like I want to work there. :) There is only one rule in a fire, save the Beer! My wife, who chuckles from time to time, had a few bursts of laughter during this show. She likes it because it's not slapstick, its humor.It's one I look forward to picking up on DVD. I look forward to watching more episodes.

shshao 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.)

joesmith2007 Well, yes, agreed (with jesse-26) it *is* good for a few laughs. But to claim that "... only certain people can appreciate..." (it), as jesse-26 did -- um, isn't that comment a bit self-righteous? Isn't that comment a bit, um, typically ...... Toronto? I mean, that's the attitude of Toronto's intelligentsia. That they're sooooooo far above the rest of us (Toronto being the "center of the universe", of course), and that the rest of us -- especially red-states and blue-provincers -- could not possibly understand these deep intellectual ramifications.Because, after all, given we don't have Master's degrees and PhD's, since, if we did, we'd live in civilized places like Toronto or Boston, etc.And, "...if you respect the characters you'll really get the humour..." -- again, more of the left-wing, high-brow, intelligentsia "holier-than-thou" Toronto thinking that really burns my butt.Other than that, I love the musical scoring in Billable Hours; top-notch.
