Some fans online have expressed concern that Mulaney is a multi-camera show with a live audience when the bulk of the funniest, coolest sitcoms in the past decade have been single-camera with no audience, but let me assure you that the pilot is just as dense with jokes as a single-camera show and having an audience there doesn’t change the pacing of the humor too much. Some of the best sitcoms ever, from Taxi to Cheers, Seinfeld to NewsRadio, have been multi-cam, and there’s no reason a multi-cam show today can’t be good. Mulaney excels in the format and brings sharp witty comedy back to the three-camera world. A performer like Martin Short can feed off of a live audience, energizing him in a way that wouldn’t be possible if he was just playing to a bunch of crew members trying to do their jobs and not laugh. The rest of the ensemble is packed with performers with live audience experience like stand-ups Mulaney, Newman, and Smith, SNL cast member Nasim Pedrad, and frequent SNL host Elliott Gould.
Yes! Thank you.
Please get picked up. Please get picked up. Please get picked up.
That’s right comedy nerds: multicam. I can hear the torn minds and hearts across the internet already.
(Also, NBC, please put this to series now.)

The blog is based on the popular What Should We Call Me model. The show will focus on “five educated young women toiling as lowly assistants for high-powered Hollywood executives.” The blog’s creator Lauren Bachelis, who’s worked on New Girl and Heroes, will write and produce with Fred Savage directed and executive producing.
It is yet to be seen whether it will be as funny as a series of well contextualized GIFs.

Agent Grant Ward is deadly, precise and cool under fire. He’s just doesn’t play well with others due to his not-so-great people skills. He’s volatile, but a decent guy with morals whose charm will eventually come through.
Soulful and quiet, Agent Althea Rice (a.k.a. “The Cavalry”) is an ace pilot, weapons expert and soldier who is a bit damaged from her combat experience and has gone beyond the call of duty.
Finally, there’s Agent Leo Fitz and Agent Jemma Simmons, also known as “Fitz-Simmons” as the two spend all their time together. Think more along the lines of a brother and sister who always bicker and annoy one another. They came up together and are masters in their fields: Fitz is good with weapons and gadgets while Simmons is into science. Yes, they are huge nerds (and also attractive).
