...Later on Tuesday, the comedy night gets whiter still with "Rock Me Baby," with Dan Cortese as a shock jock forced into maturity by fatherhood. And at 9:30, it gets as white as humanly possible with "The Mullets," the name of which alone inspired the biggest laughs of anything so far this upfront. From two ex-"Simpsons" producers, it's about two brothers with a roofing business, huge poofy mullet haircuts and half a brain between them. Unfortunately, the clips themselves didn't incite the laughs the title did, but that won't keep me from checking...
Playground bullies make great blockmates, at least if you ask “Jim,” the jock who guaranteed his place in a blocking group by slamming a “spindly boy scout lawyer-to-be” up against a wall. This blocking melodrama comes from an anonymous source in Fifteen Minutes’ (FM) “Blocking Confessions!” Astute enough to align with the Neanderthal in this petty scuffle, the unnamed confessor demonstrates the social savvy of a fifth-grader still bowing down to the class bully—and actually...
...tensions about blocking that were present within the group erupted into a rage in Annenberg. Whereupon Tyler hurled a tray at James and Jim yelled out, ‘Fuck you!’ This shouting match persisted all the way back to Weld where James, a big scary jock, picked up the spindly Tyler, with his little feet dangling, and threatened to punch him.

Last fall two scripted shows, That Was Then and Do Over, asked the same question but with cardboard characters and silly premises involving time travel. They got canceled. High School Reunion got a second season...
Remove the language barrier, and Yao is your standard 22-year-old jock. He loves pizza, ribs, wings and Frappuccinos--in addition to his mother's soup and dumplings. He wears a bracelet from his basketball-playing girlfriend in China. He spends much of his free time sleeping and the rest jumping between gratuitously violent computer games and gratuitously violent action flicks. (A recent night in with Yao: watching The Bourne Identity on DVD while playing Counter-Strike. "He sat in the corner with his computer," says Pine, "and said, 'Just tell me when there's a fight.'") In Shanghai...
