    "Big Day" is marvelously cast, and the actors, especially Wendie Malick, manage, like the cast of "24," to convey a sense of urgency that almost belongs on the stage.

    A lot of this is pretty funny, but for 24 episodes?

    The question, still open, is whether the writers can pack enough comic caffeine into the next 21 weeks to keep viewers along for the ride.

    This show is the funniest comedy on television currently. It different and very clevery, something that is drastically missing from television these days. If ABC cancels this show, its a disgrace. Give it time. None of my family or friends have even heard of it.… Expand

    Bad copy of the BBC's "Worst Week of My Life" (right down to the best man sleeping with the sister).
