4/10
Finally got around to watching it.

I can't believe how underwhelmed I am with it. For the longest time, all I heard was how great this show was and how it was one of the best written shows of all time. Give me a break.

Basically every single character is incredibly annoying & at many times completely insufferable. For the most part I find Dan alright, but besides him, Isaac & Rebecca are the only two characters I don't want to slap every other time they come on screen.

I have never been or heard abut a work environment that was so into each other's personal lives. Every one is so involved with everyone else's sh!t and they are all so open about it. It's extremely unprofessional and I've never experienced intrusiveness of that manner at any job or social/work environment I've ever been apart of, and I was in a fraternity.

Another thing that bothers me is how they are so mean to Sally. Because she is not apart of the super best friends? Oh, she is gunning to be Dana's replacement. What a b!tch!! You know, because we want Natalie to be the next in line cause she's a good buddy so let's be super rude to this other worker who we aren't great friends with. It doesn't make sense & it makes me hate the characters even more.

99.9% of the show takes place in that office/studio. Not showing your characters in any other setting besides the workplace make it limiting. I feel like I'm just watching the same episode over again half the time. And don't say stuff like 'Lost' only took place in one setting. It was a large island outside. Not a confined floor in a building.

And one example of something that really bothered me was when Casey went on the View and the clothing assistant approached him afterward and basically called him out for not mentioning the woman who picks out his outfits when Star Jones complimented him on this suit. And then he just took it. What kind of assistant would have the balls to say something like that to the on air talent? Do your job & shut up. Just another dumb thing that was put in to, I don't know, add drama to the show? It would most likely not happen in real life, and if it did they would fired for talking to a superior like that.
