Not the worst show I've ever seen, but very, very close. I truly don't see what people like about this show. It's not even remotely funny. Maybe you have to have an IQ less than 100 to enjoy this show.

If you enjoy lots of Steve Carell being Steve Carell, you'll really enjoy this. I however, don't find him to be funny. Sometimes he's even offensive and I'm not easily offended.
