It's as if everyone behind "Men at Work" missed a recent evolution in TV comedy.

It's TBS, cable--which isn't under the jurisdiction of the FCC; they "self-censor." It's nothing new: I hear that word all the every once in awhile on Conan and on tons of basic cable scripted shows from the past decade (starting, I think, with The Shield).

The promos for it looked okay so I recorded it, not sure when I'll get around to actually watching it.

The writing seemed like it could have been funny if any of the actors had good comic timing. Unfortunately, they don't. Too bad - the commercials made it look like it was going to be pretty good.

It does look like a show geared toward men but I have to watch next week to know for sure
