When they post the entire episode online, post that, cause I missed it.

I'm reserving judgment, but it has promise.

I caught it last night. Nice. Not thrilling, but nice. I'm reserving final judgment till a few more episodes come out. Let's see if the writing can survive all the in-jokes and John Hughes tribute moments.

So far it ranks above both Kath and Kim and Parks and Rec.

That's really not saying much. I only saw the first half of it last night and that is a lot of setting up of the basic premise. I'll have to check out the full episode sometime. I hope it's good. I like Joel McHale and John Oliver. It would also be nice to see Chevy Chase actually doing something funny that was made after the 80s.

It was OK.
Much better than Kath and Kim, and better than Parks and Rec.
Not as good as Earl or 30 Rock (which I don't actually care for that much)...
And not even close to The Office!
