What About Brian

This is what I look forward to every Tuesday evening.

It's been years since I got excited over a TV show and I'm praying that What About Brian won't disappoint me. Of course, Barry Watson as the lead actor is enough to make me watch it weekly but it would be nice if the storyline is good too. And it is! It just keeps getting better each episode. Although I'm not too crazy about the lead actress (Sarah Lancaster), the love story is starting to grow on me. Even the other characters who used to be boring now seem very interesting. I've always enjoyed shows about friendships and loyalties and this TV show is all about those. I'm trying my best not to read spoilers or purchase a DVD set but a quick peek from the website told me that Adam (Brian's bestfriend and fiance of the woman that he loves) will be married to a different woman. Hurray!

From the producers of Lost and Alias and the screenwriter of City of Angels and For Love of the Game comes a contemporary, heartwarming ensemble show about a group of supportive friends in various stages of romantic relationships and friendships living in Los Angeles. There are the just-married Nic and Angelo, the seemingly happily married Dave and Deena and the newly-engaged Marjorie and Adam. But -- what about Brian? Of this close-knit group of friends, everyone else has paired off, while Brian has emerged as the last bachelor standing. At 34, regardless of his run of bad luck in matters of the heart, Brian still holds out hope that one day he'll open the door and be blinded by love. However questions about his fate have been popping up more frequently in his head. The most pressing question is - and it's one that only he can answer -- could all of his problems stem from the fact that he is harboring a crush on the picture-perfect Marjorie, his best friend's girl?
