Did I say Worst Week was bad? Well, it was, but even so it didn’t hold a candle to Kath & Kim in its badness quotient. I had read about the Aussie show that Kath & Kim was apparently taken from, and that show sounded interesting, or at least funny. This show was bad. Really, really bad.

My research hit a little snag with NBC in that their website made it a little hard to find a page for each show that just had words I could read. Everything was a video, which might work great in some cases, but for me it doesn’t. I want things all written out, like what the show is about, who’s in it, and when it airs. Plus, I’m doing this while my husband watches TV next to me, so I often have to turn the sound off. Although, there was an interesting looking vid with Zach Levi of Chuck talking about all the new shows on NBC this year. I may go back and watch that when I get a chance.
Anyway, I did find out some stuff about new sitcoms on NBC and I can only find one. I did see references to several other new shows, however, and some new shows coming in 2009, but I’m not concerned with those right now.
So, the only new sitcom I saw this Fall for NBC was Kath and Kim which premieres on Thursday, October 9, 2008, at 8:30 pm ET. This is based on an Australian comedy of the same name. In our version, Kath (played by Molly Shannon) is sexy divorced mom to Kim (Selma Blair). Kim, also recently separated from her husband, returns home hoping to go back to being the spoiled princess she was growing up. Mom has no interest in that, as she is finally finding time for herself.
Maybe this will be funny, but I’m not a big fan of Molly Shannon. I might give it a chance. We’ll see.
As for returning sitcoms, there is 30 Rock (back on Thursday 10/30 at 9:30 pm ET), The Office (Thursday 9/25 at 9:00 pm ET) and My Name is Earl (Thursday 9/25 at 8:00 pm ET).
Watching Sitcoms will be bringing you the best and worst of situation comedies. What to watch and what to avoid! From yester-year classics to today’s newest shows. And, if one of our sitcom stars lands on the front page with some juicy gossip, we have it covered.
