DMV
It's the job nobody wants, but the hangout you won't want to miss.
Created by Dana Klein
On CBS
A warm, character-driven workplace sitcom that finds humor and camaraderie in a universally dreaded setting, built on ensemble bonds rather than high stakes.
A single camera workplace comedy set at the place everyone dreads going most: the DMV. Our quirky and lovable characters are making minimum wage, doing a thankless job where customers are annoyed before they even walk in the door. Good thing they have each other.
