When Just Shoot Me debuted on NBC on a Tuesday night (following Frasier) in 1997, the spirited sitcom had the feel of an instant winner. The casting alone was an inspired blend of talent from uniquely interesting sources: George Segal, the veteran actor best known for comic performances in such 1970s film classics as Blume in Love and California Split, was certainly overdue for a hit. Laura San Giacomo, a strong and intriguing presence for a decade in a number of key movies (sex, lies, and videotape, Pretty Woman) promised good things as the series' lead player. Wendie Malick, the former model turned ubiquitous supporting player on the likes of NYPD Blue and Seinfeld, had left an especially indelible impression on HBO's long-running comedy series Dream On. Finally, David Spade, fresh from his great ride as a Saturday Night Live cast member, brought a version of a popular SNL character (Dick Clark's supercilious receptionist) to Just Shoot Me, playing the haughty assistant of Segal's magazine publisher.
The show's premise was fresh, too, and the nice thing about revisiting JSM's first two seasons is realizing how well the whole enterprise holds up. Giacomo stars as serious-minded journalist Maya Gallo, fired from her job as a television newswriter after sabotaging a clueless, on-air anchor. Desperate for work, Maya turns up at the offices of Blush, a women's fashion monthly published by her estranged father, Jack (Segal). Maya reluctantly takes a job writing sex quizzes and similar dreck for Blush, but it's the snippy and vainglorious crossfire between the magazine's staffers, and between Maya and Jack, that makes JSM so much fun. Malick's aging diva, Nina Van Horn, alternately lashes out and unburdens her soul in a failing bid to remain vital in a youth-obsessed culture. Self-centered Jack offers Maya a father's long-delayed love--albeit on his terms. Spade's Dennis Finch chases leggy supermodels around the office like a pathetic loser in junior high. Another cast member, Enrico Colantoni, is very good as the likable but impulsive, womanizing photographer Elliot DiMauro, who becomes an increasingly important player as he and Maya develop feelings for one another in season two. Somehow Just Shoot Me never quite lit up NBC's primetime stable of hit sitcoms, but it did respectably well and now looks even better divorced from its television competition. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Excellent! Where are the other seasons?
I remember watching the series on t.v. But I had forgotten how funny it is! I bought it so my teen age children would watch it with me and even though they hesitated at first, they only had to watch the pilot to get on with it. It is so cleverly written, well acted and above all greatly delivered that all we did was laugh our ways through both seasons so fast that now we are wondering when will these people release the other seasons. It is funny, I tell you. You are gonna love it!

received the dvd quickly, I'm a huge fan of Just Shoot Me, now, since I have seasons 1 and 2, cannot wait for 3-5 to be released.
Rating: - Come on Sony!
I love this show & find it very re-watchable. A great cast, but you have to like David Spade to get the most out of it. Happily I find him very funny. This set is very cheap (even with postage to England). Unfortunately it's from Sony, so I don't think the other seasons will follow (just like "Son Of The Beach"). Shame.
Rating: - Just Shoot Me DVD
Entertaining Comedy Series. Great Cast. A refreshing change to the lawyer, doctor, police, detective, family theme TV programs. Wish Sony would release the other seasons to DVD also.
Rating: - i love these dvds
i hardly ever watch tv but when i do this is one of the shows i watch. there are tons of good episodes in here. i watch them all then wait a month or two and watch them again. i really wish they would release the later seasons with the newer people in them because there were some hillarious episodes in there too.
