I dunno, I like Kerry Bishe, and I may have spelled her name wrong.  :)

Yeah, I found the first and third seasons to be more interesting than the

It is an office comedy, but it is not an "Office" clone in that it is lacking
the mockumentary angle.  It reminded me more of office shows like "WKRP in
Cincinnati" than the UK or US versions of "The Office."
