Academy Award winner Robin Williams returns to series television in The Crazy Ones, a single-camera workplace comedy about a larger-than-life advertising genius whose unorthodox methods and unpredictable behavior would get him fired... if he weren't the boss. Simon Roberts is the head of a powerful agency, with the biggest clients and brands in the world, but even more important to him is that his daughter Sydney is by his side.

As his partner, Sydney is Simon's exact opposite - focused, organized and eager to make a name for herself, but also too busy parenting her father, which she'd resent if he wasn't so brilliant at what he does. Joining them in the firm are the dashing and talented Zach; art director Andrew, who's as hard-working as he is neurotic; and the beautiful and deceptively smart assistant Lauren. With his team and his daughter behind him, Simon continues to set the advertising world on fire, and it looks like they are definitely buying what these crazy ones are selling...

my take
Robin Williams returns to series television just 31 years after Mork & Mindy left the air. He's teaming up with Sarah Michelle Gellar as father and daughter owners of an ad agency. A lot depends on the on-screen father-daughter chemistry between our leads. There's no doubt it'll be funny since Williams could act against a tree and make the tree seem amusing. Guarded high hopes for Crazy. On my list.
