I want those 22 minutes back!


Accidentally on Purpose - CBS, Monday Nights 8:30PM

Horrible...horrible...horrible! I managed to make it through this entire hot mess - but just barely.

Jenna Elfman is a likable, good-enough actress - but she is just never going to find another vehicle on TV and she ought to stop putting us through the grueling nightmare of her "next big thing." Seriously!

How in the world this show got the plumb time slot between How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory is beyond my comprehension. Who is Elfman banging at CBS? Even my 12 year old daughter, who willingly watches such shows as Keeping Up With the Kardashians, couldn't manage to watch more than 5 minutes of this episode.

In the first episode, the "cougar" (Elfman) hooks up with the (questionable) hottie (Jon Foster), has sex twice and gets knocked up. Wait there's more...then her "boy toy" gets tossed out of his apartment and is living in a van - so she of course invites him to live with her. Since she doesn't want any complications however (too late!), they can't have sex anymore. Huh? Add to this mix his loser guy friends and her desperate gal pals and hilarity never ensues. Even the funny and talented Ashley Jensen (from Extras) is just a wash in this show.

If I haven't turned you away from the horror of this sitcom yet, let me add just two more words: Grant Show! Yes, Mr. 'Original' Melrose Place (hey...maybe he should wander over there) is also in the mix as Elfman's boss/sometimes lover. You know it's bad people.

Friends don't let friends watch this crap!

I watched it too and was underwhelmed. Not sure the whole point of NOT having sex, since she's already knocked up. And yeah, they could've found a hotter hottie, though I love that he cooks!
