Less than Perfect is an American sitcom created by Terri Minsky. It was produced by Wass/Stein Productions and Touchstone Television for ABC. The series follows Claude Casey (Sara Rue), a temp, currently working in the supply room of television network GNB, with her quirky friends Ramona Platt (Sherri Shepherd) and Owen Kronsky (Andy Dick), before she is suddenly summoned to the twenty-second floor and appointed the executive assistant of news anchor Will Butler (Eric Roberts), much to the disapproval of her new co-workers, the snobbish Lydia Weston (Andrea Parker) and Kip Steadman (Zachary Levi). Will Sasso and Patrick Warburton additionally join the cast as Carl Monari, Claude's neighbor and cafeteria manager of GNB, and Jeb Denton, Will's co-anchor, respectively.
Less than Perfect consists of 81 episodes over four seasons. The majority aired between October 1, 2002, and June 6, 2006 on ABC, before the series was cancelled; however, eight episodes remained unaired before they were shown on Lifetime in 2009.
