Mark-Paul Gosselaar (playing Mitch the college professor) and friends have a comedy about neighbors who ponder just about anything. Here is the pitch:
Mitch is a college ethics professor, which might explain why he goes through life with a heightened attention to justice. He knows he can't change the world but is quite determined to change his corner of it. At his side is his beautiful wife of five years, Tracy, who by day is a tough-as-nails attorney, and by night a nurturing mom to their four-year-old daughter, Sadie.
Their best friends, Russell and Angie, live next door. Russell is Mitch's male voice of reason. A stand-up comic, Russell has absolutely no fear when it comes to talking to someone or making a scene in public to prove his point. His new bride Angie is that spirited, special kind of woman, who while married to a guy that's quite a handful, is able to go toe to toe with him at a moment's notice.
These four friends love and support each other so much they can talk about any topic in the most honest, candid and humorous ways. They are the kind of conversations people have with their real friends.
I think I prefer Mr. Gosselaar in drama (NYPD Blue) over comedy (Saved by the Bell), so I am very wary. Even the sample scenes on show's website concerning sex with a babysitter and a child spotting a nude man are not encouraging. I think you can find a better way to spend your Friday night.
