Fall 2008 New Shows: Worst Week
Synopsis:
CBS brings us another series based on a British sitcom. Worst Week follows the story of Sam Briggs, an entertainment magazine editor who will do anything to please his girlfriend’s parents, but instead becomes a one-man wrecking crew whenever he’s around them. Sam and his girlfriend, Melanie Clayton, have only one hurdle left to clear as they start their life together: breaking the news to Mel’s conservative parents, Dick (a Judge) and Angela, that they have a wedding in the works and a baby on the way. Despite his best efforts, every time Sam takes one positive step forward in winning over his future in-laws, he inevitably takes two crushing steps back. But with support and love from Melanie who stands up for him despite his knack for making himself look bad, Sam will hopefully charm his way into her family.
