Sharp, witty, and hilarious. USA has lost Monk, Psych, In Plain Sight, and White Collar. Benched is their saving grace. Must see TV for those who like non-standard TV sitcoms with a real bite. The lead character is well developed already with lots of potential for story lines moving forward. Lead male co worker will eventually be the 'will they/won't they' love interest. Several excellent characters play supporting roles such as the crazy incompetent lawyer who makes you wonder how she is still employed, the guy from The Office with personal needs that mess with his professional life, and the cocky, but competent intern who provides biting one-liners with perfect precision. Then there's the quiet homely guy with an unknown dark humor that I assume will eventually be brought to light.
