The Sitcom Clone Game

List a show that meets all of the following criteria

eccentric boss/owner
level headed manager/executive
Quirky assistant/underling/employee
Hot female Employee
Ego Maniac

One character can fufill multiple criteria (for example, a hot quirky assistant)

I'll start with a few obvious ones

NewsRadio
Suddenly Susan
Just Shoot Me


add to the list...
