Anyone looking foward to Oliver Beene?
I caught the commercial for it just a few minutes ago. It looks really funny (the kid walking in on his parents doing the deed gets me rolling).
I searched and hadn't seen anything threads, so I'm wondering if anyone on here has any interest.

The promos for it are hilarious. It also has Grant Shaud from Murphy Brown fame. If he plays that type of whiney character on that show, it'll be funny.

I've seen the pilot, and of all the Fox pilots I watched about six months ago, it was one of the few that was passable. The commercials dissapoint me though.
It was better than the Fastlane pilot, I can tell you that.

I'll be there. 
I hope it's good and they give it a good time slot!
A good Sunday lineup would be :
8pm Simpsons
8:30 Oliver Been
9 Malcom
something's gotta fill that 8:30 - 9 gap

What exactly did his character do better (or for that matter differently) than Uzi, in order to deserve an award? I mean correct me if I am wrong but weren't they twins?

Man, that kid is a black hole of anti-charisma. Andy Richter got shelved for this?
Bad show. Bad, bad show.
It'll probably pull a 30 share.

Boring. I'm not feeling the whole "Hey look, it's the twisted version of the 60s!".
The actor playing the older brother looked rather familiar. I checked IMDB, and he's one of those Lawrence brothers...as in "Joey Lawrence", of the awful, awful TV series, "Brotherly Love". That kid sure grew up, and now he resembles a young Simon Rex. Disturbing.
