Hey, I mean I guess the show is pretty good. Pam is getting older though.

Short-Lived Sitcom Potpourri (V)

Quote:

This vehicle for Pam Anderson from an esteemed workplace comedy pedigree looks great on paper, often pitched as the reverse of Cheers: instead of a smart person joining a dumb place, a dumb person is joining a smart place. But the fine premise, structure, and setting doesn’t have astute enough scripting to overcome predictable storytelling and shallow characterizations, made worse by an uneven ensemble. While Anderson is surprisingly decent — she’s no Shelley Long, but she has more range than expected — when the second season inevitably has to pivot away from traditional fish out of water stories to rely more on the plot-providing possibilities of others, help only comes from the affable Winokur and the legendary Lloyd. Gold and Scolaro as the brothers leave a lot to be desired; they share no chemistry, and as the series continually undermines Scolaro to position romantic lead Gold as more central to the action — even more of an anchor than Anderson — the “straight man” role he’s supposed to play only reveals his bland depiction and resistance to comedic story.
