Well? It went for 2 seasons and was pulled. I thought it was damn funny... apparently others did not. Am I the only one who watched it and it's my own personal Arrested Development?

It was brilliant. I still miss that show ;( I think Portia De Rossi is the shit.

I've got it on the NAS and have been rewatching it lately. It's damn funny. :D

Having worked at a big company I thought it was both hilarious and awkwardly close to home (I work at a big company).

My wife and I both loved it and are totally bummed it was canceled. Phil and Lem were awesome.

I absolutely loved that show but figured that it would get canned...the humor just didn't seem fit for mainstream America. I miss BOT and Veridian Dynamics...

I loved it. But at two seasons it was perfect, like Sports Night. Any more and who knows where it would have gone?
Titus started sucking in the third season. Sometimes its better to let things die.

I saw both seasons on Netflix. At first I liked it a lot, then I realized how incredibly formulaic every episode was. After that I still liked the humor, but the predictability got old.

Pretty much any TV show that runs longer than one episode is formulaic. Otherwise they lose viewers and it gets cancelled.
Seinfeld was on the verge of cancellation before they discovered the secret formula.

a show about nothing?
i was never sure how tongue in cheek that was

That wasnt their gimmick, it was their style. The secret was 4 independent stories that converged at the end, and Larry David didnt discover it until that one episode where the fired busboy met up with Elaines lazy boyfriend and they fought.
