Carpoolers

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.

The Pitch:	It's your morning commute, with the wacky Morning Zoo Crew from FM 104 replaced by Jerry O'Connell and his pals.
When It’s On	Tuesdays at 8:30 PT/ET, ABC
When It Starts	Tue 10/2
What It’s Up Against	NCIS (CBS), The Biggest Loser 9NBC), Bones (Fox), Beauty and the Geek (CW)
Starring...	Jerry O’Connell
Cliche-o-Meter	I'm Not Wearing Pants
Fandom Factor	Cold
Do Not Adjust Your Set:	Jerry O'Connell is actually pretty funny. Between this development and the surprising comedic chops of John Stamos, we're beginning to think that Rebecca Romjin is some sort of funnyman dousing rod.
Why It Will Be First To Go:	Hey, after a long day of your own commute, what's better than watching complete strangers do "the exact same thing."
Why It Won't:	Assuming it manages to avoid "Cavemen's" considerable stink, it's actually a competently-made sitcom.
Odds of Failure:	5-1
