Most Humiliating Comedy
Worst Week
CBS, Mondays, 9:30 p.m.

Stars: Kyle Bornheimer, Erinn Hayes, Kurtwood Smith (That '70s Show), Nancy Lenehan (My Name Is Earl)

The premise: Bumbling magazine editor Sam Briggs (Bornheimer) wants to marry his pregnant girlfriend (Hayes), but her parents (Smith and Lenehan) think he's a schmuck. Every effort he makes to prove his worth ends in disaster, whether he's showing up on their doorstep in a giant diaper or using their cooking pot as a bedpan (don't ask).

They say: "This is one of the only shows doing broad comedy on TV," says executive producer Matt Tarses (Scrubs). "Watch Bornheimer. He's that rare guy who's great physically and with the talking stuff."

We say: Smith and Lenehan are excellent, but watching a man lose his dignity gets old. We see that enough in real life.
