Tonight at 9:30p on CBS, DMV gets a special episode after the Everybody Loves Raymond: 30th Anniversary Reunion.
Did you know the DMV has a magazine that celebrates the best of the DMV, and that for the third year in a row, Beau (Randall Park) and his North Hollywood DMV are on the cover?
As soon as Barb (Molly Kearney), the gullible, pushover manager of East Hollywood DMV, sees that, she gets her workers together and suggests they go there on their lunch break to see what NoHo is doing that Least Hollywood (Beau’s words, not mine) isn’t doing.
What could go wrong when our lovable, dysfunctional E-Ho workers, goody two shoes Collette (Harriet Dyer), troublemaker Vic (Tony Cavalero), sexy newbie Noa (Alex Tarrant), and over-it Gregg (Tim Meadows), show up at their competing DMV that has everything they don’t? Just what you think will happen, but only worse.
And that is why I have been enjoying DMV so much. I went in with low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it is.
Yes, they suck at their jobs. But would you expect any less from DMV employees? Nope! Everyone hates the DMV, but this show almost makes me want to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
If only they had one in North Hollywood like the one they have on tonight’s episode, I would go. But just like the show, that office is fiction. Our closest office is in Glendale, and it is nowhere as nice as East Hollywood. And yes, there is only a Hollywood DMV, and not one E-Ho. There is a lot of lying going on at CBS when it comes to the DMV.
Back to the sitcom. If you have never seen it, tonight is a great episode to start with. And then you can see why I am loving and not hating the show about one of the universally most-hated places in the United States.
