    It may not have the subtlety or sophisticated wit of "Arrested Development," but it's not supposed to. It's more a combination of "The Office" and "Four Kings" -- with really good music and a distinctive, energetic visual style.

    Seldom has a series expended more energy with less entertaining results.

    The first season was wobbly, but the second is absolute brilliance. Writing is fantastic; this show deserves to become a hit!

    Looks like the "Reminiscent of Arrested D" trilogy is complete. I'd put this one somewhere between Free Ride and Sons and Daughters. By far the most likeable star of the three. The whole "Real World" gang back at the house can GO. Mimi Rogers seems awkward doing the MILF thing. But Phillip Baker Hall (what's HE doing here?) is gold. "This is a business, not a homosexual coming-of-age story!"… Expand

    Plagiaristic. A bit like, 'The O.C', a bit like 'Arrested Development'. But, it still tops every other new sitcoms these days. And that's not saying much.… Expand
