Do Not Disturb is a sitcom from FOX that aired in the fall of 2008. The show is set in a fictional New York City hotel called The Inn. The hotel faces financial difficulties, and the staff has to struggle to keep the business running. Do Not Disturb showcases the day-to-day activities and struggles of the staff as they try to cater to their guests' needs while handling their personal issues.

Jerry O'Connell leads the cast as Neal, the hotel manager, who is focused on making the hotel profitable despite the challenges. He is a perfectionist who is often at loggerheads with his eccentric staff. Jesse Tyler Ferguson plays Larry, the head of housekeeping, who is always trying to find ways to cut costs at the hotel. He is serious about his job and often clashes with Neal over matters of principle.

Niecy Nash portrays Rhonda, the head of human resources, who is often at odds with Larry. She is determined to keep the staff happy and united even in the face of poor finances. Jolene Purdy is Molly, the hotel's quirky receptionist, who struggles with controlling her emotions and keeping secrets from her colleagues. Molly is always eager to please and is often caught between her colleagues' different agendas.

Dave Franco plays Gus, who is the hotel's resident barman. Despite having a job that most people would love to have, Gus is often bored and restless. He is always looking for ways to spice up his job and make more money. Molly Stanton rounds up the cast as Tasha, the hotel's laid-back public relations manager, who is more concerned about her personal life than the hotel's survival.

The show's comedic style is often irreverent and edgy. It is not afraid to tackle sensitive topics such as race, sex, and religion. The show's characters are often exaggerated caricatures of real-life people. The dialogue is fast-paced, witty, and peppered with pop culture references. The show has a zany, surreal quality that is amplified by its colorful cast of characters.

The show's premise revolves around the daily challenges that the staff of The Inn faces. With the hotel struggling to make ends meet, Neal and his staff are always looking for ways to cut costs and boost profits. Their efforts are often hampered by the hotel's eccentric guests, who are often demanding and unappreciative. Whether it's dealing with a bedbug infestation, unruly guests, or their own personal issues, the staff of The Inn is always on the edge.

Despite having a talented cast of actors, Do Not Disturb failed to capture the imagination of the viewers. The show's ratings were poor, leading to its cancellation after the first season. Critics panned the show for its poor writing, lack of character development, and lazy jokes. Many felt that the show was too reliant on offensive stereotypes and failed to deliver genuine laughs.

In conclusion, Do Not Disturb is a sitcom that promised a lot but failed to deliver. Its talented cast of actors and quirky premise were not enough to overcome its lackluster writing and poor execution. Despite its critical and commercial failure, the show remains an interesting artifact of its time, showcasing the kind of humor that dominated the late 2000s.

Do Not Disturb is a series that ran for 1 seasons (6 episodes) between September 10, 2008 and on FOX

Set in one of New York City's hottest hotels, Do Not Disturb follows the behind the scenes antics of The Inn. Recently named one of New York City's "10 Best Places to Stay," The Inn is the place to be, with the top clientele and staff. Though The Inn's owner, R.J. (Robert Wagner) takes all of the credit for the hotel's success, Neal (Jerry O'Connell) is just egotistical enough to believe the success is all his doing and will do everything in his power to keep the hotel up to his high standards. Also working at The Inn is Rhonda (Niecy Nash), the head of Human Resources, who spends her day keeping Neal in check with a daily dose of brutal honesty and her own set of high standards to follow. The front desk is handled by Nicole (Molly Stanton), a former model who checks guests in while wearing 6-inch Manolos. Jason (Brando Eaton), is a Nebraska native and naive to the ways of the world, but was hired as a bellman to show off his perfect face and pecs. Rounding out the staff are Molly (Jolene Purdy), the reservations clerk who dreams of being a pop singer and Larry (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), the head of housekeeping who does more talking than cleaning.
