So we start with Joel McHale all snarky after losing a respectable career, and bitterly forced to adjust to less worthy circumstances. He's surrounded by a bunch of quirky characters, looking down on them as his inferiors. If it lasts, he'll come appreciate them, petty squabbles and rivalries will turn out happily, and they'll function as a cohesive unit, replete with warm fuzzies. Nemeses will be foiled.
Feel familiar? The setup that worked so well in Community seems doomed to disappoint in this imitator. Animal encounters should offer a broader palette with more comedic potential than community college interiors, but the intro to this cast and the writers feeding them bodes ill for a long run. Trying too hard for too few laughs.
