Big Shots

It’s a tough life, being a rich corporate CEO. Just ask Brody (Christopher Titus), who’s whipped by his demanding wife. Or Karl Mixworthy (Joshua Malina), whose mistress is about to reveal that he’s cheating on his wife. Or Jamie Auster (Michael Vartan), who is about to learn a horrible secret about his marriage. Or Duncan Collingswoth (Dylan McDermott), who’s single and loving it until a reporter threatens to ruin him over an indiscretion with a prostitute named Dontrelle. Boy, it’s hard to be rich.

The Pitch:	They're like "Desperate Housewives," only they're dudes! And they have high-powered jobs! And they're all exceedingly unpleasant!
When It’s On	Thursdays at 10 PT/ET, ABC
When It Starts	Sun 9/27
What It’s Up Against	Without a Trace (CBS), ER (NBC)
Starring...	Dylan McDermott, Michael Vartan, Christopher Titus, Joshua Malina
Cliche-o-Meter	Rich Folks Forbidden Former Love Tranny Hooker Men's Room
Fandom Factor	Cold
Do Not Adjust Your Set:	When Christopher Titus is playing the most likable guy on your show, you might have a difficult time generating warm feeling among your audience.
Why It Will Be First To Go:	Because the laws of God and man prevent us from taking the four detestable douchebags who populate this show, shoving them into a lead-lined vault, and then dropping it into the sea, so that we can't hear their pleas for mercy, so making sure the show they're on gets cancelled will do in a pinch.
Why It Won't:	Apparently, Rob Thomas of "Veronica Mars" fame was brought on board to make this show noticeably less shitty.
Odds of Failure:	2-1
