SpikeTV has made its first jump into the sitcom game with a series called “The Factory”. I got a chance to watch this earlier in the week, and I have to say I was surprised by a few things.

One, it really looked like it was going to be more of a “The Office” in a Factory type of show, and it really seems to be more of an “Always Sunny in Philadelphia” in a Factory type show.

I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not.

The series is produced on a really low budget, which is extremely obvious when the cast is outside and the sun is obviously beating the hell out of the camera. The entire show was either under lit or over-exposed, and it made the production feel more like something I would watch on YouTube than on a major cable network.

The actors are all likable, and there were some funny moments in the episode, but I think overall this was a forgettable pilot. I didn’t walk away from it interested in seeing another episode.
