'Free Agents' (Canceled) - Blu-ray Forum

I had no interest in this show prior to watching the clip that just premiered, but damned if Hank didn't win me over. Not to mention Anthony Head (Giles FTW) and one damn fine redhead. I'll definitely be checking this one out.

Wednesdays 8:30
It's so wrong, but it feels so... wrong.

Quote:

“Free Agents” is a crooked workplace/romantic new comedy from creator John Enbom (“Party Down”) and Emmy Award-winning director Todd Holland (“Malcolm in the Middle”) based on the cult U.K. series of the same name that explores the trials and tribulations of two public relations executives on the rebound. Alex (Hank Azaria, “The Simpsons,” “Huff”) is newly divorced and can barely keep himself together while his co-worker Helen (Kathryn Hahn, “Hung”) thinks she has it together but is obsessed with her deceased fiancé and actually is falling apart. Then a drunken Alex and Helen end up in bed together, and in the resulting sober confusion, Helen decides that they should only be friends. Meanwhile Alex’s co-workers, Dan (Mo Mandel, “Love Bites,” “Modern Family”) and Gregg (Al Madrigal, “Wizards of Waverly Place,” “Gary, Unmarried”), and Stephen (Anthony Head, “Merlin,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) fail in their attempts to help him get back out on the dating scene. When Alex finally agrees to a date, Helen gets a little jealous, and he gets cold feet, so they end up back where they started -- in a casual, intimate and beautifully awkward relationship. Also starring is Joe Lo Truglio (“Backwash,” “Mad Love”) and Natasha Leggero (“Ugly Americans,” “’Til Death”). “Free Agents” is a production of Universal Media Studios in association with Dark Toy and Big Talk Productions. Enbom is executive producer/creator along with executive producer/director Holland. Karey Burke (“Miss/Guided”) executive-produces, along with Big Talk Productions' Kenton Allen (“Free Agents,” BBC Network) and Nira Park, as well as Chris Niel.

I'll give it a shot to support Anthony Stewart Head.

The extended trailer looks highly amusing. I'm definitely in it for at least 3 episodes.

I kept hearing how Anthony Stewart Head is reprising his role from the UK version and I looked it up expecting to find it was on quite some time, but then I see it was on a few years ago for only six episodes. Makes me think of The Office in that respect.
