"Abysmal"

By bond345, Jun 11, 2007 Report Abuse

This show has gone seriously downhill. That is really too bad, they should have just left it dead. It has lost a lot of the original work vs play aspect of the first season. Sully was the worst character of the "play" side and it is unfortunate they decided to keep him. Moreover, Darcy was awesome as the acerbic assistant who went to MIT but is completely pointless as the stereotypical Asian woman ready to help her white boss...so pathetic. This plot line was also useless and without an explanation as to the changes from the 1st season, makes the show make no sense. Also, why is that annoying guy from the elevator there. They did not really explain who he was in Season 1 and it makes even less sense now.moreless

Missing the style and time that they used to have.

We knew the show would be a lot different this season, but it seems like they lost their style. The show is still kind of funny, but not great like the first season. I wish they would have acknowledged that Izzy and Piper "moved out" or whatever. I love that this season seems to have regular people in the board room at work instead of a bunch of random people.

To start, the old intro was a lot better. The writing in this episode however seemed average but it did have some great one liners, the stuff that happened last year was funnier and there's an obvious chemistry missing without Piper and Lizzy. Piper and Lizzy were hilarious in season 1, so I'm hoping they bring them back in the next episode or at least this season. Now on the flip side, Sam, Sully, Darcy, Meryl and Russ were all great. Philip Baker Hall as Russ is especially brilliant as the jerk boss....very funny! Some one liners were great like, "You're the Icelandic me" and "What were your marching orders?". So far, the last season was set up better....but at least they kept the same music.moreless
