Re: CBS' Worst Week
Over the course of its run this season, Worst Week elicited more laughs from me than most all the other 4 comedies put together that I watch this season. You just have to surrender your "that's so unsensible" reflex and just roll with it.

Re: CBS' Worst Week
After the first episode my initial reaction was that this show was going to be a one-trick pony so I was ready to bail on it. Fortunately, my DVR recorded the follow-up episodes and I have to admit that the writers seem to have carried off the slapstick/Keystone Cops aspect quite admirably. (There is some sit-com pedigree built into the staff with executive producer Matt Tarses among others.) After watching the first month of this show I became a fan. What they do they do quite well ("slapshtick") and this has developed into one of my favorite comedies of the current season. The actors and writers seem to have notched it up a bit and I actually look forward to each episode. Not in a league with Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm, but not a waste of about 20 minutes (thanks to DVRs) of my time each week.
The only thing slightly disturbing to me is that the lead actor looks and sounds eerily like our own moderator Adam G. (what say you Patrick?) and that might just bring another level of interest to me.

AdamG is handsomer than Sam, but Sam has a lower voice. Sam reminds me of a live-action Barney Rubble, but with brown-ish hair.

Sam is Richard Kind's good looking (well, for the Kind family) son.

Re: CBS' Worst Week
Sounds like this show may not see a Season 2:
