This is filling in for Cougar Town while it's on hiatus. The trailer looks hilarious. I've been looking forward to this since it was announced last May.

13 episode season

Looks like it could be good.

You had me at Andrea Anders.

Yeah, but with her this show is likely cursed to < 2 seasons just like her past ones.

I though the pilot was hilarious.

If this show does really well, does that mean lights out for Cougar Town? That would make me a sad panda.

I find it weird that they cast Andrea Anders given the fact that she was in "Joey". Regardless - I am looking forward to this!

Cougar Town will be fine (it was already renewed for a 3rd season).

For some odd reason I assumed Mr. Sunshine would be an hour-long show, so was surprised to see it's a half-hour. Not a big deal, just kind of weird.

...and Joey has been in her

Me too, the cast is great.

I'll give it a shot since my tuner already is committed to Modern Family before it. I just hope it's not one of the stupid ABC shows that goes to :01 of a hour.

I'm looking forward to it, but am a bit disappointed that Jorge Garcia isn't a regular. I enjoyed him on HIMYM so I was looking forward to seeing him in a more permanent comedy role elsewhere.

I thought that a tad odd too... Also that both Matthew Perry and Allison Janney are alums of Aaron Sorkin shows.

Is this a Sorkin show?

No, just a lot of Sorkin regulars. In addition to Perry and Janney, Lesure and Torrance were both on Studio 60, and the pilot is directed by Thomas Schlamme.

Cool. Then I can sit back and enjoy this.

Good news - its not one of those stupid ABC shows - according to the listings
at TVGuide.com - Mr. Sunshine ends at :00. Mr. Sunshine however does lose
a minute - it starts at :31 - that minute goes to Modern Family.

LB...

I'll watch Matthew Perry in pretty much anything so count me in.

I'll be checking this out too. Looks pretty decent.

I will be watching. Got quite a few good people in it. Loved James Lesure in Las Vegas.

More to the truth that it actually goes to commercials. The episodes are usually 22 minutes. The network usually pushes when they actually end, not the production runtime of each episode.

Just heard a radio spot for this with a lame Springsteen/Boss joke (lemme tell ya, north Jersey LOVES all those lame Springsteen/Boss jokes).

And just when did Allison Janney morph into Dixie Carter......?

Why is that weird?

And supposedly Matt LeBlanc and Andrea Anders are dating.

Well, from the commercials, she's playing essentially the same character she played in Better Off Ted, so if you believe in omens, that's probably not a good one.

Joey is a classic. Best DVD find I ever got from Big Lots! I liked her on The Class but that one only lasted a season. She is bad luck.
