Worst Week

is a new CBS comedy series that centers on Sam Briggs, an entertainment magazine editor who really wants to impress his girlfriend’s parents. The problem is, whenever he’s around them, nothing goes right. What’s worse, now he and Melanie have to break the news to Melanie’s ultra-conservative parents that not only are they getting married, but they’re also expecting a baby.

The premise alone wasn't really selling me on this but the clips (below) have kind of turned me around a bit, plus this new series follows CBS’s hilarious comedy, How I Met Your Mother, so it’s likely that I’ll find myself watching this series premiere, which airs after HIMYM’s season premiere and Two and a Half Men.

Kelly put her life-long love of movies, TV and books to greater use when she joined CinemaBlend as a freelance TV news writer in 2006, and went on to serve as the site’s TV Editor before joining the staff full-time in 2011 and moving over to other roles at the site. At present, she’s an Assistant Managing Editor who spends much of her time brainstorming and editing features, analyzing site data, working with writers and editors on content planning and the workflow, and (of course) continuing to obsess over the best movies and TV shows (those that already exist, and the many on the way). She graduated from SUNY Cortland with BA in Communication Studies and a minor in Cinema Studies. When she isn't working, she's probably thinking about work, or reading (or listening to a book), and making sure her cats are living their absolute best feline lives.
