TV Barn and TeeVee.net nutshell guide to the Fall 2007 premieres
Carpoolers
Official "Carpoolers" web site
Four guys (Fred Goss, Jerry O’Connell, Jerry Minor, Tim Peper) carpool together, with their individual stories crossing over in various (and hopefully hilarious) ways. One of them is recently divorced and owns no furniture. One’s threatened by his wife’s business success, when he should be more concerned about the fact that his son’s kind of an idiot. One’s a happy newlywed. And if my math is right, there’s another one, too. But if he doesn’t end up making more of an impression, it may be time to kick him out of the carpool.
| Aaron's take: | A funny premise, unexpected characters, a nice assist from Faith Ford as a carpooler's wife. Still, the total feels like less than the sum of the parts. The "Caveman"-"Carpoolers" tandem may well be the first roadkill of the season. |
