Season 1 Review: McHale, as he proved on “Community,” has great timing, and he’s aided by his office colleagues, especially the delightfully deadpan Ko and Fry, who combines sweet and weird. With its office-as-asylum atmosphere, Great Indoors echoes “NewsRadio,” not a bad influence. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Jack is no Jeff, and this series, an old-school set-up-punch-line comedy, is no “Community.” That said, there are plenty of good laughs, and the show is an equal-opportunity roaster. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A shallow and essentially flat show. ... The show's lone saving grace is Stephen Fry as Roland. Read full review

Season 1 Review: McHale's gift with sarcasm makes some of the stale punchlines work and he's always willing to look like a fool as long as he simultaneously looks good doing it. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The problem is that the show and its humor are relics of an increasingly unsuccessful formula for TV comedy. Read full review
