The classmates get a glimpse of the different paths their lives have taken and have the opportunity to see themselves all grown up--whether they want to be or not. As he did with Cheers and Friends, comedy veteran James Burrows directs a collection of funny stars-in-the-making for a new comedy about life's what-ifs.  stars Jason Ritter, Lizzy Caplan, Heather Goldenhersh, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jon Bernthal, Sean Maguire, Lucy Punch, Andrea Anders producers David Crane, James Burrows, Jeffrey Klarik studio craneklarik productions, Warner Bros.

my take I'm not sold on the idea and strongly think it should be flipped with How I Met Your Mother. It's similar to The Nine (ABC) with the question: why are these people still coming together? It's got a great pedigree and there's no direct competition whatsoever. CBS has owned Monday night in recent years and while this might not be a huge hit, I think it'll roll along fine for the season, generally under the radar.
