ABC Monday 10pm
	debuts in 2006
	concept from Brian is the guy everyone wants as a best friend. He's the guy who'll stand by you at your wedding, drive you to the hospital, cheer your kids on at their little league game...the guy who every wife dotes on and every husband wants to either grab a beer with or live vicariously through him. But as all of his friends pair off and Brian emerges as the last bachelor standing, questions begin to arise in his head: Is there such a thing as Miss Right? Why does love have to be so complicated? What is his problem with commitment? And the most pressing question of all, could all of his problems stem from the fact that he is harboring a crush on his best friend's girl?  stars Barry Watson, Matthew Davis, Polly Shannon, Rick Gomez, Amanda Detmer, Raoul Bova, Rosanna Arquette producers Dana Stevens, J.J. Abrams, Thom Sherman, Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Bryan Burk studio Touchstone TV, Bad Robot

	i opine... From the premise, I wasn't biting, even if I am a thirtysomething single man with the majority of my friends being married. The cast is pretty, but "normal pretty"; that's a good thing. The clips almost turned it around for me, assuming Barry Watson can keep Barry from becoming whiny.

	predictions, breakdown & chocolate   Not sure. Sometimes, a midseason launch can be difficult, but it's perfect counterprogramming for the slot. The clips ABC provided didn't quite win me over, but they would have told me if it was a complete bust. I think it's got a shot, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.
