Save 'Free Agents'

Out of all the new shows this season, I've only truly enjoyed two of them. 'Revenge' (which I've already written quite a bit about) and 'Free Agents'.

Unfortunately, 'Free Agents' isn't doing well in the ratings, putting it at high risk for cancellation.

The show focuses on two advertising executives who both recently had major relationship problems...one is suffering though a messy divorce (Hank Azaria) while his co-worker lost her fiance about a year ago to a heart attack (Kathryn Hahn). In the premiere episode (and no, this isn't a spoiler, it's revealed in all the previews) they wake up in bed together. But, in typical television fashion, decide that they should 'just be friends'. That's essentially the whole premise of the show. Azaria and Hahn have good chemistry, and I think most people who are watching want to find out how and when they are going to become a real couple.

Please, give 'Free Agents' a try...you can watch the first three episodes on Hulu. It would be a shame if NBC canceled one of the only new comedies this season that holds real promise.

Watch 'Free Agents' Wednesday nights on NBC at 8:30/7:30 C.
