Electric Shadow

Talent Untapped

The entire cast of Gary Unmarried is capable of more than they're given week in, week out on CBS. Watching it is no better than devouring fast food meals multiple times a day or week. If it only means that Jay Mohr and Ed Begley, Jr. get a solid paycheck and residuals, I'll occasionally order the double-processed, double-common, double cheese that is the show. I like Mohr as a comic


Jay Mohr and his little Yorkie

The best feature of the recently-released first season DVD is a featurette on Ed Begley's ultra-green house called Planet Begley. It plays like MTV Cribs: Green-ass Eco-friendly Edition. On top of that are a Blooper Reel, "day on the set" piece with Mohr, and a cast featurette. It's far from classic TV, but among the better of the deep-fried, same-old set of sitcoms.
