9JKL - Mondays at 8:30PM ET/PT on CBS
Premieres Monday, October 2, 2017 at 8:30PM ET/PT

by Todd

9JKL stars Mark Feuerstein in a family comedy inspired by his real life. Josh Roberts (Feuerstein) is a new divorcé and actor between projects who moves home to New York to regroup, living in an apartment sandwiched between his doting, meddlesome parents on one side and his competitive brother, sister-in-law and their new baby on the other. As Josh's family literally comes at him from both sides, he realizes he desperately needs to establish some personal boundaries, because his loving family is always going to be right there for him. Always.

Mark Feuerstein as Josh

Josh's well-intentioned mom, Judy, is so excited to have her beloved son home after his 12 years in Los Angeles that she bribes their doorman, Nick, to secretly call her every time Josh comes up the elevator, so she can greet him in the hallway. Also thrilled is Josh’s larger-than-life father, Harry, an attorney with no personal boundaries who’s eager to help Josh land his next starring role using his Hollywood “connections.” Teasing Josh about his return home is his competitive brother, Andrew, a successful surgeon who, unlike Josh, doesn’t have a problem saying “no” to their interfering parents; Andrew’s Harvard-educated pediatrician wife, Eve; and 12-year-old neighbor Ian from 5A, who hangs out in the lobby. As Josh’s family literally comes at him from both sides, he realizes he desperately needs to establish some ground rules, because his loving family is always going to be right there for him. Always.

Directed by Pamela Fryman
Written by Dana Klein and Mark Feuerstein
Guest stars: Paul Feig as Himself, Sally Pressman as Christina, Hana Hayes as Molly, Fernando Martinez as Man

Analysis:

9JKL is a multi-camera sitcom from Kapital Entertainment in association with CBS Television studios. Dana Klein, Mark Feuerstein, Aaron Kaplan, Wendi Trilling, Dana Honor and Pam Fryman are the executive producers. Mark Feuerstein and Dana Klein are married in real life. The show is loosely based on his experiences while shooting the USA Network series Royal Pains. One difference is that Feuerstein and Klein lived together while living next to his own family.

In the "Pilot" episode, Judy and Harry look at their son, Josh, as a baby while he is sleeping in his bed. Josh has returned to New York after 12 years in Los Angeles after his show was cancelled and he divorced. He starred in the TV series Blind Cop, which they have a poster of on his wall. Josh explains to them that is only temporary as he looks to get back into theatre. Josh's brother Andrew, his wife Eve and their baby Wyatt come into the room as the entire family greets him. Josh later talks to the doorman, Nick, and his new neighbor Ian from apartment 5A in the lobby. Judy greets Josh in the lobby and invites him in for cookies and a chat. Harry wants Josh to star in a viral video for his estate planning business.

Josh and Andrew later meet in the park where they meet a man who recognizes Josh from Blind Cop. Josh meets Christina Jones, who went to school with him at Michigan. Josh tells Nick and Ian about his date with Christina. Ian tells him about a role being available in a Paul Feig comedy. Josh tries to sneak past his mother's apartment undetected. Howard tries to set up Josh a meeting with Paul Feig. They shoot the viral video. Josh receives a phone call from Molly, who is babysitting Wyatt. Josh picks up his nephew Wyatt and takes him to the restaurant to meet Christina. Christina suggests they go to Josh's place. Josh learns that Nick has been phoning Judy every time he arrives home. While talking to Christina on the terrace, Howard offers her some honeydew melon. Christina learns that Josh lives next to his family. Josh tells them he needs space. Josh rushes to meet Paul Feig. Although he can't read for the role of the doctor, he is offered another role. His family congratulates him and tells them they will always be there for him.

The "Pilot" episode is fast-paced, funny and enjoyable. There are quite a few characters to introduce, so they do a good job giving everybody some screen time. It will be interesting to learn more about the characters and their backgrounds in future episodes. The cast has some great chemistry already. Surprisingly enough, this isn't the first time that Feuerstein and Lavin have played son and mother. They had previously worked together in the short-lived 1998 sitcom Conrad Bloom. The title of the show is interesting and unique. Josh lives in Apartment 9K. He is sandwiched between his parents' apartment, 9J; and his brother, sister-in-law and their baby's apartment, 9L.

9JKL features a talented and experienced comedy cast. Mark Feuerstein has recently been starring in dramas such as Royal Pains and Prison Break, but he starred in a number of sitcoms earlier in his career. David Walton has appeared in many sitcoms in recent years. Elliott Gould had a recurring role in Friends and recently stared in Mulaney. It's always great to see Linda Lavin return to television. She could be anybody's overly protective mother in this role. Liza Lapira is always funny in her roles. Matt Murray and Albert Tsai form a nice comedic duo and provide some funny lines. Albert Tsai is always a scene stealer in all of his TV appearances. The trend continues here.

Conclusion:

9JKL is a likable and promising new comedy. There's nothing really groundbreaking, but it's just a fun half hour. It's very much an old school sitcom with the laugh track. They have put together a strong and experienced cast. This is a family comedy which many people will be able to relate to. If you've ever moved back in with your parents, it will hit home. There are many funny lines and awkward moments in the series premiere. The cast has some great chemistry, especially Feuerstein and Lavin who have played son and mother before. Elliott Gould is also very funny as the father. They made a good decision adding young Albert Tsai to the regular cast. He's one of the best child actors in the business.

The show couldn't ask for a better lead-in following the highest rated comedy in The Big Bang Theory. They should receive some nice sampling. It will be interesting to see how it does in a few weeks without the big lead-in, but I think it has a reasonable chance of success. There are few sitcoms in recent years which have put together so many familiar faces and comedy veterans. CBS has assembled a solid comedy block on Monday nights. It seems like a very good fit with their other family comedies. Comedy has a new address at 9JKL. Tune in Mondays at 8:30PM ET/PT.

Final Numbers (out of 5 stars):

Watchability: 3.5/5
Funniness: 3.5/5
Overall: 3.5/5

Our Sitcom Stars on Talk Shows weekly report will now move to Sundays, because now we have a new feature from one of our writers, Vincent, that will dive into the week in sitcoms. The new feature is called Fri-Yay, so that means a look back on some of the best of comedy this past week or two! Happy Fri-Yay!

These days, sitcoms kind of come in all different shapes and sizes. If you're a sitcom traditionalist, preferring classical multi-camera set up with plenty of silly hijinks and audience laughter, there are plenty of shows for you that still exist - from network comedies like The Big Bang Theory and Kevin Can Wait to "reboots" of classic sitcoms on Netflix such as Fuller House and One Day at a Time. There are also still plenty of smart, slick, modern single-camera sitcoms with in the vein of The Office and Modern Family - some of my favorite contemporary examples include NBC's Superstore and Fox's Brooklyn Nine-Nine. But with the rise of streaming and "peak TV" has come with it a new type of sitcom. These sitcoms follow the sitcom mold - they're about 20-30 minutes long, are filled with jokes and lovable characters, and generally tell stories on an episode-by-episode basis. But they're also a little more complex than your average sitcom, are more comfortable telling serialized stories along with their episode-by-episode story lines, and aren't as constructed to the network-mandated act structure of a network (or even cable) sitcom. They're sitcoms designed for streaming services - essentially, they're sitcoms tailor-made for a new age.

Two of these streaming sitcoms - Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Master of None, both Netflix originals - released new seasons this past few weeks. And both of these seasons featured plenty of examples of why both have become buzzed about and beloved cultural hits. Master of None featured two episodes in its season that may wind up being my two favorite episodes of television of this entire year - "New York, I Love You" (a series of disconnected vignettes about peripheral characters on the outskirts of its protagonist Dev's New York life) and "Thanksgiving" (a coming out story of Dev's best friend Denise that's perhaps the most raw and honest coming out story I've ever seen on TV.) These two episodes feature very little of Master of None's protagonist and have nothing to do with the show's central premise or storyline – they’re entirely experimental. And yet, they're some of the most fascinating and refreshing TV you'll find right now. Similarly, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's third season has some of the best joke writing you could possibly find, and there were several moments where I had to pause my TV because I was laughing so hard. What's even more impressive is the way the show weaves some very dark subject matter between these jokes, revolving around the horrors of Kimmy's past, which she spent being held captive by a madman who convinced her the world had ended. Kimmy started out as a network sitcom (the first season was written for NBC before they sold it to Netflix), but the show's Netflix home has allowed it to gradually uncover the horror of Kimmy's past while still keeping its joke-a-second pace rolling.

Still, while the freedom of Netflix allows these shows to flourish in many ways, there are also some ways where I feel these sitcoms could actually benefit from some of the tightness of network programming. The second season of Master of None spends a large amount of its time on a humdrum romance arc between Dev and a woman he meets in Italy named Francesca, cultivating in an episode that's 45 minutes long and entirely devoted to their relationship. The story is never as interesting as the show thinks it is, and I have to wonder if perhaps some creative restraints may have guided Ansari to either developing the story better or at least shortening it in places (like, maybe a 25 minute episode instead of 45 minutes?). Similarly, there are parts of Kimmy Schmidt's third season that feel like total misfires, particularly in the show's largely unfunny satire of college students that never quite finds its target. And yet, without any real network notes or ability for audience response to influence creative direction, the shows keep going with plotlines and beats that clearly aren't working. I wouldn't want Master of None or Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt to be network sitcoms, as I wouldn't want to lose their heir of experimentation, even if it means they sometimes lack consistency. But they're also signs that the traditional method of doing television may not be completely dead yet.
