This show is loaded with great characters. The 5 second scenes of people shopping in the store in between our main story are always hilarious. And Sandra is amazing. The running bit this season, with her getting cut off every time she mentions Jerry's coma is fantastic.

Been happy so far with season 3. Feels like this is a under the radar type comedy, it does a good job critiquing societal issues like the Health care episode but still making the show enjoyable to watch.

It's still going strong? I enjoyed season 1 but kind of stopped following it and no reason in particular.

It keeps getting better and better

Often times on a show like this, it takes a while for each of the actors to fully develop their character's quirks

Can we all agree that Dina is the best character on the show?

Garrett is great too, but Dina is the one driving the bus

Love this show and having worked in retail in the past I can relate to a lot.

Jonah is funny but irritating at the same time. He's like the Brian Griffin of live action sitcoms.

To me the relatability factor is big as everyone can relate to life as a retail worker even if someone didn't necessarily work for a big box chain. I'm a bit surprised the show isn't as well known as it's not only relatable but it's also quite smart in its writing.

This is exactly why it isn't as popular as it probably should/could be. For whatever reason, whether it be that the general public doesn't want to think this much when watching TV or that they aren't smart enough to understand the subtle jokes, shows like this never take off.

It frustrtes me that such shows just don't take off, meanwhile a show like the Big Bang Theory is still going despite it in my opinion not being that funny or witty.

Dammit.

Was part-way through Season 2, and it's still On Demand, but now they want me to pay for the episodes.

Earlier I said Jonah was like Brian Griffin. After this past episode, I think he's even worse. His inability to accept that Kelly believes in a higher power was more annoying than funny.

There's a difference between believing in a "higher power" and believing in haloed angels with wings

The show was renewed for another season. Good news since it has a witty sense of humor that isn' too frequent anymore for network comedies.

I will say though the last two episodes have been a bit disappointing in regards to Amy/Jonah becoming a thing. It was bound to happen but I think the writers would have been better off toying with Jonah/Kelly a little bit more. Their PA intercom bits were pretty funny.

Sandra is quickly becoming one of the major players on the show

But where was Marcus? I hope he wasn't replaced with that Corey guy

Looks like Myrtle may have been written off the show

I wonder if she has some health issues

Right before Jonah got all jealous with Amy's new boyfriend I was thinking how great things are now they Jonah moved in with Kelly and Amy has a new guy. It's my only gripe with how the season has gone, I feel like the show benefits more by having Any and Jonah bounce off each other as friends rather than being in a relationship.

Wondering if I can get this on Youtube TV..

I've seen an episode here and there in the past -- thought the show was pretty darn funny.
