Has a lot of the aspects I liked about The Office that I think are lost now, so I'm gonna stick with it a while.

I didn't really like it. It felt like Office-lite. And yes, that was probably what the writers were going for. I thought the funniest part was the public meeting scene; however, I have been to about a million of those and know how brutal they can be. The good news at least it isn't another cop show.

I thought it was pretty funny. A lot of the humor was very subtle, which is a good sign. Getting to know the characters over time makes the slightest subtle gestures all the funnier, and I can see this show heading in that direction. I agree with Core that The Office originally had the same style, and there is still some of that showing through, but many of the gags have grown so outlandish that they completely overtake any subtleties that remain.
I'll keep watching.

i thought some of Aziz's lines, or at least his delivery, were pretty funnyI had never heard of this guy till he showed up on Scrubs this season. I thought he was very funny in that show with limited screen time. So I expect him to be funny in this show going forward, when he has a little more to do/say.

The visiting delegation from Venezuela episode was over the top, but laugh out loud funny. The gift of High-fructose corn syrup was painfully funny and the follow up..where can we see this administered to all your obese american children?

Not much discussion on this show in awhile, but last nights was really funny. This is the best sitcom on TV right now IMO. The cast is phenomenal. It's a shame NBC didn't order a full season this year (for whatever reason).
