Paula Marshall, Jay Mohr, Jaime King in GARY UNMARRIEDWith CBS having such a strong lineup of scripted dramas and comedies, it's easy to overlook something new like the Jay Mohr vehicle Gary Unmarried. Jay's character, Gary Brooks, is a house painter who's been recently divorced from his wife of fifteen years, Allison (Paula Marshall). They have two kids - Tom Brooks (Ryan Malgarini) and Louise Brooks (Kathryn Newton). Also a part of the cast is Ed Begley, Jr., their marriage counselor turned Allison's fiance, and Dennis Lopez (Al Madrigal), one of Gary's contractors.

The crux of the show is comedy, of course, but it does so on the balance between Gary's home life, work, and his new love life, complete with all the bumps in the road. The three-disc set comes complete with all twenty episodes and extras.

Disc 1: Pilot, Gary Gets Boundaries, Gary Marries Off His Ex, Gary Get's His Stuff Back, Gary Breaks Up His Ex-Wife & Girlfriend, Gary Meets The Gang, Gary And Allison's Restaurant

Disc 2: Gary and Allison Brooks, Gary Gives Thanks, Gary Goes First, Gary Toughens Up Tom, Gary Dates Louise's Teacher, Gary Moves Back In, Gary and Dennis' Sister

Disc 3: Gary's Ex-Brother-In-Law, Gary uses His Veto, Gary Hooks Up Allison, Gary and The Trophy, Gary and His Half Brother, Gary Fixes Allison's Garbage Disposal

Bonus Features: Gary Unhinged Bloopers, Tuesday On The Set With Jay, Planet Begley, The Chemistry of Comedy

Kathryn Newton, Jay Mohr, Ryan Malgarini in GARY UNMARRIEDThe half-hour situation comedy isn't one to be overly studied or carefully analyzed - it's just supposed to make you laugh. And if you are fan of Jay Mohr, or just like the movies he's been in, then this show will definitely make you laugh.

I not only like Jay's character; Paula Marshall is also good as the ex-wife. Another strong point: the kids. They aren't overly crafted to be masters of comedic timing. They both feel appropriate for their ages and not precocious beyond belief. Definitely one of those shows that will build an audience over time.
