As noted earlier, ABC is adding a whopping thirteen new shows for the 2011-12 season, and clips from the five new sitcoms have leaked. I’m not sure if Disney’s corporate thugs are going to yank these clips offline, so let’s skip the lengthy descriptions and get straight to video-watchin’ while we can.
Apartment 23
Originally called “Don’t Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23,” Krysten Ritter stars as said bitch, along with James Van Der Beek as himself and Dreama Walker (“The Good Wife”) as a naive Midwesterner. This looks like it could be a breakout comedy that everyone will talk about, so of course ABC is holding it until midseason.
Suburgatory
Get it? Like purgatory, but in the suburbs! Nothing fancy in this, but Cheryl Hines and Jeremy Sisto (“Six Feet Under”) are both excellent. Seems like a sensible and solid creation from the network that brought us “Modern Family.”
BEWARE: I saved the derivative, joyless sitcoms with no heart for the next page.

I have a crush on Krysten Ritter.
James Van Der Beek doing bicep curls with the 5 lb dumb bell was pretty funny.
I sat next to Rebecca Mader at a sandwich shop in NYC. She has pretty hair.
Cool story, Boots!
I wasn’t sold on Apt 23 until I saw the Varsity Blues homage. That’s some Community level meta right there.
Those ABC drama links worked for me, though they were odd enough to make me think I was hallucinating. And I don’t mean that in a bad way.
If Tim Allen dies unexpectedly it could be their year.
Instead of watching Man Up, I’m just going to look through Teri Polo’s old Playboy spread again.
This is exactly how I picture James Van Der Beak’s life.
The fat guy from Man Up looks like Mickey from Seinfeld grown up.
To cleans myself, i’ll open this folder on my desktop of Teri Polo nude pics.
These all look terrible. Seriously, think about Perfect Couples vs. any of these shows. Couples looks better, right?…right?!! Also, I just re-watched Sports Night, Teri Polo was looking hot then, still looking hot…she has entering the Dana Delany zone.
I saw that goth chick choke to death on her own vomit and it was still pretty hot.
I don’t care what anyone else says, Van Der Beek proved his comedic chops in Varsity Blues.
Well, the VanderBeek jokes are used up, what’s in episode 2?
I’ve always had a thing for Cheryl Hines. I can’t explain why so somebody should go ahead and do it for me.
“Excuse me, ma’am? My face is longer than my forearm. Can you help?”
I’m sorry, Teri Polo posed nude? Where was I? How old is this magnificent woman, anyway?
ohhhhhh yyyeeeeeesssssss
“Work It” couldn’t look worse. Rebecca Mader bed, now she must lie in it…for three episodes before it gets canceled.
@imjustsayin I was gonna make a comment about how your comment was worse then the Work It preview, but then I watched it. And then I died.
I’ll watch anything with Dan Fogler, so I’ll give Man up a try, and I guess it just speaks to a weird part of me, but I like Tim Allen and if he’s making jokes about his daughter sleeping around, it’s comedy to me. But suburgatory, and bosom buddies part 2 look terrible.
I would do dirty,gooey,moist and horrible things to Krysten Ritter. I’ve wanted it since Veronica Mars.
That is all.
I liked Work It better when it was called Sorority Boys. I liked Krysten Ritter better when she was naked in my dreams. I like Jonathon Moxon just the way he is.

“I’ve always had a thing for Cheryl Hines. I can’t explain why so somebody should go ahead and do it for me.”
Attractive comedy chicks are hot, that part is easy. The hard part is they have a vast repertoire of small dick jokes…. so I’ve heard.
