Free Agents; BBC America. 10 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Huhn? Wha?  Didn't this premiere a few weeks ago?
Sort of.  But this is the original.
And if I laugh just once, it will have the lead over NBC's version (which I'm sticking with for a while; namely for the potential it could end up being decent).
The BBC series stars one of my favorite comedy actors: Stephen Mangan (BBC's Green Wing-- still one of my favorites-- and Showtime's Episodes), so I'll definitely be "in" for this one.
And the original also stars Anthony Head as the boss (just like on the NBC show)-- but he can be even more lewd and crude with BBC's more tolerant standards.


Sunday, 10/9
