The new TV season has produced at least one breakout star for sure -- Kyle Bornheimer. On
Worst Week, CBS's new entry in its solid sitcom block on Monday nights, Bornheimer has made his mark and the show is proving a ratings hit.
Kyle's every guy, not too bright, essentially sweet character on
Worst Week, Sam Briggs, fits him like a glove. It's his ability to deliver the physical comedy as well as the self-deprecating lines with a knowing smile that has made him endearing.
Kyle Bornheimer has one of those really recognizable faces. You might remember having seen him in
Jericho or
Breaking Bad or
The Unit. He's been kicking around for the past few years, searching for a role that would give him a chance to shine. That's what he's found in
Worst Week.

Sam Briggs is a schlemiel. Everything that can go wrong in his life, every dumb thing a guy can do while trying to do the right thing, happens to Sam.
The preview of
Worst Week (premiering Monday at 9:30 PM ET on CBS) has not changed dramatically from this ready-to-go pilot. The premise is simply this: can a good guy like Sam overcome all the stupid things he does and find happiness with the girl he loves and her family that loathes him?
For the pilot,
Worst Week works really well as broad farce. The situation of this situation comedy goes from bad to worse to worse still. It's funny. It's over the top. It's very, very outrageous. Whether or not they can sustain this level of silliness and maintain some semblance of believability week in and week out is the big question for
Worst Week.

The four CBS show panels on Friday involved four of the five new programs the network is rolling out in the fall (there was no panel for
Gary Unmarried, or whatever they're calling it today, because Jay Mohr and his wife Nikki Cox are renewing their vows overseas). While the panels for
The Mentalist, The Ex List, Eleventh Hour, and
Worst Week had their moments, none of them were particularly newsworthy or interesting.
At least Diane Ruggiero, the creator of
The Ex List, was entertaining enough to keep me from jabbing a pen in my arm to keep me awake. In fact, she might have actually convinced me to watch
The Lake House, as long as I have a drink in my hand.
