Meet TV’s funniest guys in ‘Men at work’ on be TV
There is nothing like a good
laugh to get your weeknights going, with the brand new US
sitcom "Men at Work" dishing out seriously tongue-in cheek humor, irreverent
behavior and absolute fun. Dubbed an all-male version of Sex and the City and
reminiscent of Seinfeld, the show is a fresh must catch half hour of laughs
that follows our hip and young professionals as they take on New York and live
life “full steam” ahead, in the spirit of the magazine they work for.
This riot of a sitcom tells the
“bromance” and misadventures of these four hilarious 30-something friends as
they help each other navigate work, friendships and women. Danny Masterson
(That ‘70s show) stars as the recently dumped Milo, a
bearded attractive funny guy with a Peter Pan complex. James Lesure (Las
Vegas) is Gibbs, a photographer and smooth ladies man
who always tries seducing every pretty woman he meets.
Michael
Cassidy (The OC) plays Tyler, a charming, pretty boy, celebrity features writer
who adds a dash of style and sophistication to the group. Adam Busch (Buffy,
the Vampire Slayer) is Neal, an awkward and dorky reporter who seeks advice
from Milo on how to talk dirty in bed. He is the only
one of the four with a steady girlfriend, Amy (Meredith Hagner), who is the
daughter of their boss.
In the
premiere episode newly single Milo is convinced by his
buddies to stop wallowing in self pity and seek out romance or at least a
“meaningless sexual encounter with a complete stranger” from the bar that Tyler
and Gibbs take him to. Along the way, Gibbs’ trip to Tyler’s
pad to pick up camera equipment ends in an indecent liaison with the latter’s
cleaning lady.
Tyler, who
gets turned down in an interview by the snobbish actor of a movie, has to get
is interviewee out of a thorny situation. Back home, when Amy asks the
unimaginative and hapless Neal to talk dirty in bed, his anxiety takes over and
goes, “I’m going to rip your head off and poop in the corner”, leaving Amy in
shock.
More laughs
will ensue in the upcoming episodes as Milo dates some
very interesting characters and lands behind bars for going too far to research
his story in drug trafficking. Gibbs and Tyler learn some tough truths through
a lie detector, while Neal contends with Amy who wants more adventure in their
bedroom, along with his future father-in-law who is also their disgruntled,
cost-cutting boss.
Created by the
Emmy-nominated writer, actor comedian and producer Breckin Meyer (Franklin
and Bash), Men at Work’s 10 part series averaged more than 2.5 million weekly
viewers in the US.
The show’s popularity saw a second season of 10 new episodes commissioned to
return in 2013.
