This formulaic TNT original sitcom follows four sex-obsessed best friends and co-workers at a Manhattan-based men's magazine who devote more hours to goofing off than to doing any real work. In fact, the quartet—Neal (Adam Busch), Tyler (Michael Cassidy), Gibbs (James Lesure), and Milo (Danny Masterson)—spend most of their time competing for, talking about, and dishing dubious advice about women. Think How I Met Your Mother (with Neal as the sole guy in a long-term relationship, Milo as the looking-for-true-love single, and Tyler and Gibbs competing as the ladies men) with a male-centric focus, a little less invention, and a bit more horndog humor. The rhythm, pop-culture references, and punch lines all seem familiar, making this simply a fair copy of better, smarter shows. Compiling all 10 episodes from the 2012 first season, extras include deleted scenes and outtakes. Not a necessary purchase. (S. Axmaker)
