Worst Week
Good guy. Bad luck.
Created by Matt Tarses
On CBS
A sitcom built on physical comedy and social mishap, where a well-meaning protagonist's catastrophic incompetence around his girlfriend's parents drives the humor.
Sam Briggs is an entertainment magazine editor who will do anything to please his girlfriend's parents...but instead becomes a one-man wrecking crew whenever he's around them. Sam and his girlfriend, Melanie Clayton, have only one hurdle left to clear as they start their life together: breaking the news to Mel's conservative parents that they have a wedding in the works and a baby on the way.
