Another new ABC comedy, "A Day in the Life," will borrow a little from the Fox hit "24." It will devote all 22 episodes to the events of a single wedding day of a young couple, complete with the usual disasters involving catering and photography.
Yikes.
On the other hand I'm half-tempted by this just because of Jessica Stein:
The fifth new ABC comedy is "Notes From the Underbelly," based on a novel by Risa Green about a young wife dealing with a pregnancy she never wanted because of her job working with obnoxious children at a prep school. It stars Jennifer Westfeldt, who played Jessica Stein in "Kissing Jessica Stein."
TV shows are so weird now. It seems like 90% of them are either nostalgic/coincidental or 24/Lost ripoffs ("A Day in the Life," yes, but also the terrrible "Reunion" of last year's Fox lineup, and also "In Case of Emergency" which is a bunch of college friends accidentally reuniting in an E.R., and "Six Degrees" which is about people mysteriously connected like all the people on the plane in "Lost." And this is just one channel.)
How come no one is copying older JJ Abrams shows (no, "What about Brian?" doesn't count)? I miss my Felicity.
