The new DMV TV Show premiere on CBS delivered exactly what viewers hoped for: an exciting pilot episode. The comedy premiered on Monday, set in an East Hollywood DMV where underpaid employees face grumpy customers daily.
Harriet Dyer stars as Colette, a caring but boundary-challenged driving examiner. She is joined by Tim Meadows as Gregg, a grouchy ex-teacher, Tony Cavalero as Vic, a tough former bouncer, and Alex Tarrant as Noa, a good-looking new coworker. They all report to their newly promoted boss, Molly Kearney, who plays Barbara, a struggling manager trying to handle the pressure.
The pilot episode shows a possible government shutdown that threatens to close the East Hollywood DMV for good. When consultants arrive to look for ways to cut costs, Barbara learns that one of Hollywood’s four DMV branches will soon be replaced by full automation. She realizes the team’s visit might signal major changes ahead, with the big question looming about how long the consultants are in town.

In the DMV TV Show pilot, the East Hollywood DMV staff’s already chaotic workday spirals out of control. The situation worsens when a government shutdown looms, bringing in consultants to evaluate cost efficiency.
They quickly learn that one of Hollywood’s DMV branches will soon be replaced by full automation. Their boss, Barbara, tries to soften the blow, claiming the consultants’ visit will be brief. However, the truth comes out in shocking fashion by the end of pilot.
After a series of embarrassing mishaps involving Colette, things start to spiral for her. These include a viral foot photo, a wardrobe malfunction in front of Noa, and getting stuck in a window.
