Three New Mid-Season Sitcoms Profiled

Free Ride

Free Ride - FOX, Sundays at 9:30PM ET/PT

College: you go through it for four years (maybe more), and then once you are done, you realize you really aren't interested in your area of study and the only place you can go is back home to live with your parents in Missouri. The only problem is that even though you can PHYSICALLY go home, you can't MENTALLY go home because things have changed... and that's the story of one of FOX's newest sitcoms, Free Ride.

Free Ride aired as a special preview on March 1st on FOX. If you missed the premiere, you can check it out on MySpace. The timeslot premiere episode is Sunday, March 12th at 9:30PM ET/PT. Sundays at 9:30PM ET/PT is the regular timeslot.
