New CBS Sitcom First Look: Worst Week
The single-camera sitcom Worst Week revolves around entertainment magazine editor Sam Briggs (Kyle Bornheimer of Jericho), who tries his hardest to impress Dick (That ’70s Show’s Kurtwood Smith) and Angela (My Name is Earl’s Nancy Lenehan), the parents of his girlfriend Melanie Clayton (Erinn Hayes of Kitchen Confidential and The Winner).
Unfortunately, in addition to being sincere, Sam is just one of those cursed people whose presence creates catastrophes wherever he goes. That’s why it’s a good thing he has pregnant Melanie by his side to support him as he repeatedly attempts — and fails — to win over her reluctant parents before they get married.
CBS ordered 13 episodes of the series executive produced by Matt Tarses (Scrubs) and Jimmy Mulville (Whose Line Is It Anyway?). In addition, Emmy Award winner Adam Bernstein (30 Rock) directed the pilot. A clip follows the jump.
