FOX | 7 episodes | Sitcom
WHO'S IN IT? Ken Hudson Campbell, Louis Ferreira, Jason Kristofer, Jay Mohr, Paula Cale
SYNOPSIS: Four Pittsburgh guys who met in high school - dopey Eddie, who lives at home with his widowed mother, sort of engaged Mert, talkative Stosh who drives a taxi, and Jake who works in retail - still like to hang out together mostly at their local, Blue Lou's, and reminisce about the good days.
Seven episodes of the show were produced but only five actually aired.
VERDICT: Another show about a group of guys who have been friends since high school and constantly talking about stuff that happened 20 years ago. It was described at the time as a "blue-collar version of Friends", by people who had never watched Friends, I'm guessing.
The show opens what is presumed to be a funeral - sombre mood, best suits, black armbands - but it's actually the wedding of one of their friends. Oh the hilarity! The guys then share their immature attitudes on marriage. Later on, they decide to steal a goat - the mascot of a rival pub - even though they're pushing 40 and should really know better.
CANCELLED BEFORE ITS TIME? No, I wouldn't watch further episodes, although the scenes with Eddie and his mother (Rhoda Gemignani) and sister (Tricia Vessey) were funny.
