Editing Less than Perfect (section)

== Overview and premise ==
The show centers on Claude Casey ([[Sara Rue]]), a young woman who works at GNB, a television network. Though at first a temp who fills in on other assignments, Claude is hired in the pilot by anchor Will Butler ([[Eric Roberts]]) to be his assistant. Claude's fellow co-assistants Lydia Weston ([[Andrea Parker]]) and Kipp Steadman ([[Zachary Levi]]) are unhappy at Claude's arrival, and do everything they can to make her miserable. Luckily, Claude is able to navigate the workplace with the help of her best friends Ramona Platt ([[Sherri Shepherd]]) and Owen Kronsky ([[Andy Dick]]), who also work at the network in other departments. In season two, two new characters joined the series: [[Will Sasso]] as Claude's neighbor and GNB cafeteria head Carl Monari; and [[Patrick Warburton]] as Jeb Denton, ladder-climbing news anchor and Lydia's love interest. Sasso, who had recurred throughout the last half of the first season, was upgraded at the beginning of the season; Warburton began as a recurring character in the first half of the season, before being upgraded at midseason.

Much was made at the time of the show's premiere about the central character of the show being a "full figured" woman, and that the title correlated to Claude being "Less Than Perfect."<ref>[https://www.today.com/popculture/television-grapples-weighty-matter-wbna5991977 nbcnews.com]</ref> Over the course of the series, Rue lost {{convert|30|lb|kg st}}.<ref>[http://extratv.warnerbros.com/v2/news/0805/24/3/text.html Extra.tv]</ref> She has since become a spokesperson for [[Jenny Craig]] and lost a total of {{convert|50|lb|kg st}}.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2010/10/11/sara-rue-finishes-half-marathon/?cnn=yes |title=Sara Rue Finishes Half-Marathon |first=Monica |last=Rizzo |date=October 11, 2010 |access-date=2010-10-25 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101016075930/http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2010/10/11/sara-rue-finishes-half-marathon/?cnn=yes |archive-date=October 16, 2010 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> As the series progressed, Rue's figure became less of a focus on the series.
