Storyline

Recently graduated Sam Sullivan is the youngest executive in crude Russ's airline's Chicago HQ. Sam's ruthlessly ambitious direct chief, feminist Meryl, considers him a sexually desirable toy and fun to abuse because of his noble naiveté. Sam's brother, screw-up Sully, doesn't just live in his flat as a useless parasite, he compounds surprising problems, usually at some point also dumped on Sam.

User Reviews

Best show out.

I don't want to give any spoilers but this is the funniest show I've seen in a while. The entire cast is hilarious. The "Release the Beast" or ranch episode had me rolling on the floor. Mimi Rogers plays a sexually aggressive middle aged female executive and it seems to me the only time she opens her beautiful mouth is to deliver some of the best one liners on TV. Philip Baker Hall's character is awesome. I loved it when he was attacked by the dog. I'm not sure where I've seen Sully before but he and the entire cast are top notch. This show has a Scrubs like way for pulling away and injecting comments for explanation or effect. I love the theme song and all the music in the show is fantastic. It's hard to believe this show is so polished at such an early stage. I have DirecTivo and I watch each episode at least 3 times.
