I thought I’d let people know a day early in cause you want to catch it.

Another fun episode. Am I really the only one who saw it? (I recorded mine and just finished it.)

We have watched all the episodes and think is is currently the most underrated, laugh-out-loud comedy on television.  
It might take an episode or two to catch on to the dry humor, but the mad scientists, the insane management staff and the hapless employees - very funny stuff.

I just hope this show isn’t canceled and then “discovered” by a wider audience when it is too late.

It’s been picked up for a second season. So that’s good news. I hope it keeps doing well. It’s weird, because I had the idea for a sitcom to take place at an R&D company over 10 years ago. And now, there is one, and it’s pretty damn funny, for the most part. I think they can push the comedy even farther, but sitcoms take at least a season to gel. We shall see how season two plays out…

Not the greatest episode, but still wildly funny. Please let this series catch on!
