Just Shoot Me!

This TV series would seriously have to be one of the best in this era ,up there with Seinfeld and Fresh Prince of Bel Air. David Spade(Dennis Finch)would have to be the funniest actor in this series having the best lines along side Wendie Malick (Nina Van Horn)I could watch every episode three times and laugh as if i saw it the first time.

This is a fantastic show which always makes me laugh and giggle. Probably the best comedy ensemble on TV, and the humor is mostly aimed at adults. Blush, as a setting for the hijinx, is perfect and the office setting seems organic and realistic, as opposed to lumps of furniture. Contrast this with Suddenly Susan, where the office setting is ridiculous because noone seems to belong there. On Just Shoot Me, the characters are fleshed out from the beginning and their motives, personal and professional, are clear. Maya and Jack Gallo, the irrepressible Dennis Finch, Elliot and Nina all supply laughs constantly. There's lots of practical jokes and wicked schemes that sometimes (but not always) backfire. Maya is the most earnest (and an intellectual feminist), but she's also vulnerable and compassionate. She is the heart and soul of Blush, but also the butt of good-natured jokes. The other four (especially Dennis) are more self-centered and mischievous. All in all, this is a wonderful show that resonates, because it echoes (in an exaggerated way) the chemistry of co-workers in real life. In this respect, it resembles Taxi, another great show that relied on well-defined characters to make comical situations seem more natural.

I used to watch "Just Shoot Me!" once in a while back when it was still airing on television (new episodes). It was canceled after a six year run from 1997 - 2003. Six years isn't bad, and neither were any of the episodes I saw.

Some of the characters may seem reminiscent of other sitcoms, and surely the premise is fairly flat - a group of workers at a magazine corporation and their personal trials and tribulations.

The funniest guy on the show has to be David Spade. I know a lot of people hate Spade, but in my opinion he is good at his type of humor - as long as he doesn't try too hard, he's funny.

"Just Shoot Me" may not be airing new episodes on television anymore, but the six years it DID air certainly provided some amusing situation comedy. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys "Friends" and "Third Rock from the Sun."

Are you people insane? Have you lost your mind? Let me understand this: Scrubs has a score of 8.3, but Just shoot me is 6.8?! In what universe? The Internet must be broken.

Just shoot me has incredibly sharp comedic acting, very clever dialogue, and is edgy ahead of its time.

Where's the love, people?

This show is smart, sarcastic, and funny. I love it. David Spade and George Segal are hysterical, and I love the character of Elliot. An all-around terrific show.
