This show should be right in my strike zone. Amanda Peet, baseball (sort of a "Wild Thing" version of baseball anyway), bourbon, Azaria, how can you go wrong? Well, season 1 is frequently funny in a "will somebody please notice me?" way. It just isn't funny enough to compensate for the reality that it is mostly about an absurd relationship that supposedly hinges on both of them getting drunk and screwing. There are more than a few absurd things in this show, but the core relationship is a "10" on the absurd scale. That is a big handicap to overcome and it never manages to.
Is it true Amanda Peet isn't in Season 2? Huh? She is the best thing in this.
