The show deals with the day-to-day absurdities at a heartless technology company , Veridian Dynamics. Victor Fresco is the creator and executive producer for the series. It is produced by 20th Century Fox Television. After a first season of 13 episodes , it was renewed for a second season of 13 episodes, which premiered on Tuesday, December 8, 2009, at 9:30PM Eastern/8:30PM Central, following Scrubs.

Jay Harrington, who plays Ted Crisp on the show, serves as both a main character and as an on-camera narrator.

Another plot element involves the use of mock commercials for Veridian Dynamics, thematically related to individual episodes and placed at the end or beginning of actual commercial breaks.
