i opine...
While I like Jason Lee, I can't see this making it: it seems painful. NBC's comedy track record of late is pretty terrible. It won't be this year's "Coupling," but I continually ask why NBC decided on this instead of launching "Scrubs" in the Fall.
the breakdown
  An alright slot for launch, but watch fast, I don't think it's going to be around very long.
