Notes from the Underbelly (2007)

Waste of Time!

Usually an aging sitcom waits right around "jumping the shark" time to get the leading female pregnant in a pathetic attempt to boost ratings. This sad attempt actually uses pregnancy as the basis for the whole show! What will they do to carry the premise when the kid is born, have her get pregnant again, rinse, and repeat, ad infinitum? A friend recommended this because she is a big Jennifer Westfeldt fan from some movie she did years ago, so I figured I'd give it a try. Show is Total Zilch IMHO! Been done before, A LOT BETTER! The characters are almost all idiots except for the endearingly vicious lawyer, Cooper. Better to kill off everyone else and build the entire show around her. Another waste of 30 min headed for the ratings trashcan!

Nothing funny happening here folks, move along quietly!
