Seasons
Season 1
Magazine owner Jack Gallo makes peace with his estranged daughter when she asks him for monetary help--and lands a job at the mag.
Season 2
Determined to prove that good-looking people have an unfair advantage in the job market, Maya concocts an experiment. She'll send two people to interview for the same job- one is unattractive but perfect for the job; the second has the brains of a Stegosaurus but is gorgeous. She soon falls victim to the very prejudice she is trying to fight when she and the good-looking guy start dating. Also, Nina begs for the chance to participate in an office prank on Finch while Jack struggles with the complicated assembly instructions to his baby daughter's dollhouse.
Season 3
Jack enlists Finch to stop off at his house and check up on his new nanny. However, Finch ends up having sex (""Twice!"") with the nanny. But his joy may turn to embarrassment after he discovers Jack had a hidden camera installed in the room that they used. Meanwhile, Elliott neglects a favor Maya asked him to do, and Nina joins a cult.
Season 4
Finch and Adrienne return from a wonderful honeymoon in Tahiti, but upon their return, Finch is hit with a hard dose of reality. If he is to maintain his "cool" image in Adrienne's eyes, he will have to give up a lot of his favorite things, such as action figures, sci-fi conventions, and cat shows. What makes this so problematic is that his cat Spartacus has just made the finals of a big cat show, and winning has been a lifelong dream of his. Meanwhile, Maya and Elliott fret over whether their marriage is legal or not and end up seeking out the help of the cult's strange lawyer, Larry. Larry successfully annuls the marriage, but the two are left still unsure about the possible future implications of the whole affair.
Season 5
Jack interrupts Nina and Finch. Finch plays hard to get because he wants revenge on Nina. Allie leaves Jack and Maya and Elliott attempt to comfort him.
Season 6
Jack discovers Finch and Allie; he fires Finch the next morning. Two weeks later, Jack has a new secretary, for whom Elliott and Nina cannot decide their feelings for. Finch wants to come back, but finds a job as Snoop Dogg's assistant when Jack refuses. After Allie tells Jack the truth about how she came onto Finch, he decides that he wants his old assistant back.
Season 7
Jack hires a woman off the street to run the desk. The staff thinks its because Jack wants to seduce her. This causes her to quit. When the staff finds out that Jack didn't hire her for that reason, they convince her to come back to work. Meanwhile, Finch tries to get a distraught female co-worker to take comfort in his arms.

User Reviews
Brilliant and underrated sitcom that got its laughs from actual jokes and situations. I'm happy Just Shoot Me has a full 7 seasons, but sad that only the first 3 are available. 4th Season was the transition from the slightly rougher first 3 seasons, and the more polished last 3 seasons. Hopefully one day, Seasons 4 thru 7 are made available again, as these are actually better than the already fun (and funny) Seasons 1 thru 3.
