One of the greatest

Nowadays TV is full of American sitcoms. Most of them are VERY forgettable, but every now and then a great series is born. Just Shoot Me is a series that´s really worth watching. It has a great cast and a script which is actually funny.

In my opinion the most hilarious character is Nina. She´s beautiful but pretty stupid. Wendy Malick plays her perfectly!

I highly recommend this series to all who like GOOD sitcoms!!!!
