CBS | 6 episodes | Sitcom
WHO'S IN IT? Wendie Malick, Lauren Graham, Seymour Cassel
SYNOPSIS: Good Company was set at the offices of Blanton, Booker & Hayden, a
Manhattan ad agency. Art director Will would rather be a serious painter than an ad man and his
recent Cleo Award win has given him serious thought to changing career.
However, newly appointed creative director Zoe pooh-pooh's his plans
to quit and assigns him to jazz up a new toilet-paper line (toilet paper
with baking soda!). Other characters include Ron, the account director, Liz, another
copywriter, Dale, a junior art director, and Bobby the agency's president
and CEO.
Six episodes were made, and there's very little evidence of the show.
VERDICT: It's not bad, but there's nothing overly unique or stand out - it's a
run of the mill workplace sitcom set in New York. For some reason
the time is given in the corner of each scene - adds nothing. Wendie
Malick plays Zoe, a high powered no-nonsense business woman.
After Will tries to quit she tells him: "I think someone needs to remind you that this is a place of business. You
can't just sit around and drink cappuccino and discuss your personal
problems all day like you were a cast member of that show Friends, because
I've got news for you - this isn't, and we ain't!"
CANCELLED BEFORE ITS TIME? Well...I like Wendie Malick, but the show didn't make an impression.
