With a funny cast in an evergreen ensemble workplace premise (by some great writers like Sam Simon!), SHAPING UP showed a lot of promise. Leslie Nielsen and Jennifer Tilly were each particularly fun in their roles.
It deserved more of a chance to develop its characters and cultivate a following. I think it could have been a hit in the TAXI and CHEERS mold. It was certainly designed as such.
I wish copies were more widely available today so everyone could see and enjoy the show as I do. The later episodes were better than the first few aired. (I think that probably made a difference with critics.)
