Is there ever a doctor in this house! Ben (Christopher Gorham) is often patronized by his family of physicians for being a mere couples' counselor, but they could all use his help. His brother (Ty Burrell) is a womanizing plastic surgeon. His sister (Paula Marshall) is an ER doctor who can't keep a girlfriend. And Ben is caught between his divorced parents - a strident cardiologist mother (Stockard Channing) and a mild-mannered gastroenterologist dad (Henry Winkler) who has taken up with his receptionist (Jennifer Tilly). cbs.png

i opine...
At first glance, this cast absolutely rocks. While I adore Paula Marshall, she's getting close to a Ted McGinley-type series-killing curse. This will end that streak. It flowed well and was pretty FUNNY without being forced. A nice thing in a sitcom. It's from the producers of "Frasier." CBS has complete lock on Monday comedy. Case closed.
the breakdown
  Something's keeping me from declaring this as a full season lock, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't. It's got a terrific slot and should work well as a lead-in to "CSI: Miami."
