Close Call—9:30 AM
I watched the premiere of Four Kings on the "throw Seth Green a bone" program, because nobody watches a KoMut show without having a special reason. (Those guys are the scourge of prime time. I'm madder at America for making Will & Grace a hit show than I am at them for electing Bush in '04.) The show is exactly what it looks like in the ads: a Friends/Seinfeld buddies-in-the-city show, but with all obnoxious "off-kilter" guys who say random things and pay each other to climb into laundry dryers.
Halfway through the show, my heart stopped. The hot girlfriend of the head obnoxious guy (played by the same dude who was the head obnoxious "off-kilter" guy in Committed last year) is played by Kiele Sanchez. Kiele Sanchez happens to be sitcom kryptonite for me. I watched an entire season of Married to the Kellys (with Breckin Meyer!) because she was the female lead.
Fortunately, Head Obnoxious Guy breaks (spoiler alert) up with her before the end of the pilot episode, so I can safely never watch this show again. She was by far the only watchable part.
