Overview

Comedy

Aspiring novelist Jane Black suddenly winds up unemployed. Hoping for a more conventional lifestyle, she goes in search of a job, hoping to find something with a 40-hour work week and maybe even dental insurance.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Teresa Pavlinek created and starred in this after her sketch comedy career, essentially playing a fictionalized version of her own 'what if I had a real job' anxiety.

Cultural

This quietly pioneered the 'messy millennial woman' sitcom archetype years before Fleabag or Broad City—except Canadian, so more polite about the breakdowns.
