I thought I’d give ABC’s latest “plight of the modern man” sitcom at least 2 episodes before I passed judgement. All signs pointed immediately to the pits of despair, but since the pilot involved so much setup and the much-maligned burly-dude-dresses-as-a-woman-to-get-a-job premise has actually had some unlikely but substantial success in films like Tootsie and […]
