STILL STANDING is a generic family sitcom in the
as-many-jokes-as-we-can-cram-in mode. The only thing that makes
it rise above many of the other generic family sitcoms is that
the leads, Mark Addy from The Full Monty and Jami Gertz
from lotsa things, actually have some reasonable comedic delivery chops.
I’ll probably peek in on this from time to time, to see if they
have developed the material.
In the opening scene of tonight’s CSI: Miami, David
Caruso’s friend on the bomb squad has a chatty talk with him
and says they should get together for some beers later, just
before heading in to deal with the bomb. How many of you out
there figured he’d live until the theme song started? Nah,
me neither. We’re all too smart to fall for that.
