Carpooling Goes Hollywood

By | Friday, May 18, 2007, 08:53 AM

Did you catch the announcement on the new ABC sitcom about four guys from the ‘burbs who commute together to work?

it’s called “Carpoolers.”

(Now that took a lot of creative genius!)

Here’s what ABC says about the show:

“The four — Gracen, Laird, Aubrey and Dougie — are more complicated than you might think. They have hopes, ambitions, families, careers and insecurities. They live different versions of the modern, suburban family life. They obsess, dream and strategize as they rocket their way up and down the carpool lane every day.”

If that doesn’t want to make you tune in, check out some of the banter.

“Ever have that dream where your teeth don’t fit…?”

“I think my wife is making more money than me…” “I think my son does…”

“I’m a killer. I’m a man of action. I’m a dentist.”

“Never recycle… your neighbors will just be able to see what a boozer you are.”

Early reviews aren’t giving the show much of a chance because it’s on Tuesday at 8:30 p.m., opposite American Idol.

So South Florida carpoolers to the rescue.

I’m sure more entertaining chatter goes on while you’re racing up and down the HOV lane on I-95.
