September 24, 2008 by

[GMMR:  Yeah, sorry.  I tried to watch the pilot.  I psyched myself up and everything in an attempt to keep an open mind.  The boys were pretty but not pretty enough to make up for the rest of the disaster.  Skip it.]

Gary Unmarried | 8:30pm on CBS | Series Premiere
Gary UnmarriedPainting contractor Gary (Jay Mohr) and his ex-wife (Paula Marshall) navigate kids and new relationships in this comedy, which opens with Allison announcing she is remarrying and Gary getting involved with a client. [GMMR: We’ll talk more about this one tomorrow. I can’t say that I was all that excited about GARY UNMARRIED. I’m a fan of Jay Mohr and he’s probably the brightest spot in this new sitcom.  But in general I felt things were a bit contrived.  The comedy was pretty formulaic and traditional.  There were certainly a few funny moments but I like my comedies with a bit more depth.  Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think tomorrow.  But don’t forget – don’t get hooked because come October 1st this show is up against PUSHING DAISIES.  I’m just sayin’…]

    I have to say, I really liked Knight Rider last night. It was pretty darn good, even with the cheese factor being high.
