Braten und Bräute

Richard Jeni (Richard Jeni) has a men's cooking show in New York City on a high number TV channel. He hangs out at his younger brother Tommy Jeni (David Dundara)'s bar with his longtime friends, sportswriter Paige McAllister (Denise Miller) and his show's producer Lou Golembiewski (Ron Orbach). The title refers to Richard and his show. The platypus attempts to mate often and often ends up alone.

There was a time when every semi-successful standup comic got a TV sitcom deal. Their shows are all titled The Name Name Show usually with the titled fat white guy, a gorgeous wife, and some adorable but bratty kids. This one is slightly different. They try to copy the Seinfeld formula with 3 guys and a girl in a singles sitcom. At the start, I didn't like the show and the laughs were few. It's an old fashion sitcom with a loud annoying laugh track. Over time, I grew to like the group's chemistry. The show tends to showcase a different woman for Richard in every episode. Maybe they should concentrate more on the friendships which are the shows' best side.
