Despite the mixed reviews, I thoroughly enjoyed this show. The dialogue is quick and witty throughout, and the pace is beautifully timed. Eric McCormack's character, while perhaps boring, is played down to the last detail, and Tom Cavanagh practically exhales charm as an adorable copywriter. This show is funny, smart, and has an atmosphere that perfectly combines the stress of the workplace, and the frivolity of prime time television dramedy. While the background stories of characters would perhaps have been better addressed in later episodes (i.e. the former relationship between the new writer and Eric McCormack) the pilot was fun to watch, and I find it puts me in a better mood than its competition for the same time slot. This is definitely one of the better shows that TNT has brought out. I give it an 8.5
