Catherine_Grace_Zeh "LESS THAN PERFECT," in my opinion, is an absolute ABC classic! I haven't seen every episode, but I still enjoyed it. It's hard to say which episode was my favorite. However, I think it was always funny when a mishap occurred. I always laughed at that. Despite the fact that it was a short-lived series, it would have been nice if all of the main characters had stayed with the show throughout its entire run. It seems that no one stays with a show throughout its entire run. Everyone always gave a good performance, the production design was spectacular, the costumes were well-designed, and the writing was always very strong. In conclusion, I hope someone brings it back on the air for fans of the show to see.
jessica_6089 An an Australian we always have to wait for shows to come to us way later than they air in the US. The WB's Popular didn't come on until summer of 03 and I loved Sara Rue's portrayal of Carmen. So when Less than Perfect aired, I watched with heightened anticipation and I was not disappointed. Rue is now Claude (Claudia) Casey. A temp at broadcast station GNB that became the PA of anchor Will Butler (Roberts). Her best friends Owen (Dick) and Ramona (Sheperd) are excellent with their wacky characteristics. Roberts did a great job as superficial Butler until he left (end of season three). The cast is also filled with Pretender star Andrea Parker as vain Lydia, and Zachary Levi as Kipp or "Secretary". The addition of Will Sasso as Carl, a likable idiot and Patrick Warburton as power crazy anchor Jeb Denton were excellent choices. Less than Perfect is a happy 1/2 hour show definitely worth watching. But you better hurry if if its getting cancelled!
b-a-h TNT-6 If you like this show, you are probably not going to like what I'm going to say. Then again if you like this show, I can't say I have really any sympathy for you.Frankly, this has got to be the most painful TV show I have seen in ages. No wit, no purpose, no talent whatsoever. I scrolled down the "memorable quotes" to see if I was just unlucky with the bits and pieces I could stand to watch. No. I have not found one quote that brought a smile on my face, let alone one that actually made me laugh.And another thing, I find it depressing that in this day and age they still try to use the laugh track as a cue to where the "funny stuff" is supposed to be. I have never met anybody who did not find the laugh track completely annoying, and this show has one of the LOUDEST laugh tracks I have ever heard! But of course when all you have is this kind of drivel, that's the only thing you can resort to to pretend what you're showing is actually funny.Where I live they show this after the excellent "Scrubs". The difference in quality is amazing. Where "Scrubs" is always fresh, witty and honest, "Less than Perfect" is stale, moronic and, well... unwatchable.
Ddey65 She doesn't play a normal adult, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. As long as I've seen her on screen, Sara Rue has always played teenagers. Even on the short-lived Pamela Reed sitcom "Grand" I assumed her character had to be around 13. Now we don't have to regard her as the female Ralph Macchio and wait for her to say "I'm not a teenager, but I play one on TV," because she's playing as someone more or less her own age in this Terri Minsky sitcom. There's this misconception that "Less Than Perfect" is about a fat girl who makes it working behind the scenes of the cut-throat world of the television news business. In reality it's the fact that her character is such a sweetheart within such a world that makes the show what it is...oh, and the surprising fact that Sara Rue can play such a charming character. Camryn Manheim is fat too, but she doesn't play as the same type of woman on "The Practice," and Roseanne(Barr) could never have pulled off an adorable character like Claude Casey. Ricki Lake? Maybe in the late-1980's, but not now.Allow me to discuss some of the supporting cast as well:Eric Roberts finally gets into an interesting show. I don't think too many interesting things have happened since he was in his relationship with the late Sandy Dennis. Some may compare Andy Dick's Owen Kronsky with his role as Matthew Brock on "NewsRadio," but not me. Kronsky is a lot smarter, he just has a peculiar upbringing. I disagree with one IMDb commenter, Andrea Parker looks better on this show than she does in "The Pretender."Talent and Charm is what give Sara Rue sex appeal, not looks. Two outstanding episodes early in the first season serve as evidence of Rue's no-longer hidden talent. In "Queen of England," we find a subplot involving Owen(Andy Dick) talking Claude into joining him and Ramona (Sherrie Shepherd) at a Karaoke bar, where she does an excellent impersonation of Kate Pierson. Another episode ("The Pole") involves Ramona convincing Claude to join a "Stripper-cize" club to give her some attitude, and the moment she joins in you'd swear she's done this kind of thing before. Hopefully this show will last a few more seasons, because it deserves them.
