You can catch it tomorrow night at 9:30 Central or right now see tomorrow night's show On Demand. I've already watched tomorrow night's episode three times. The introduction of a new boss is pure black comedy.
Here's a free episode from you tube which for some reason bleeped all the nasty words. A bit of background the Brit husband and wife fell apart when Matt LeBlanc falsely convinced her that her husband slept with the blonde bimbo star of the series. She decided on vengeance and slept with LeBlanc. But it turned out not to be true so the husband said they were over. They'd work together but no longer be husband and wife. In retaliation he slept with the bimbo. She reluctantly started seeing this hunk. She always asked her husband if it was all right to go, wanting him to stop her. But he wouldn't.
Carol is probably my favorite character. She was sleeping with her boss Merc, a hilarious boor she managed to fall in love with. He didn't know what he was doing so she secretly ran the network. Then the bosses dumped him and offered her the job but she wouldn't take it. Then Merc finally confessed that he wouldn't leave his blind wife because he couldn't afford the settlement. Carol throws him out of the car and frantically calls NY to take the job. Meanwhile Merc's beautiful blonde wife has fallen in love with LeBlanc.
This one isn't as dark or wily as the two episodes to follow but there some excellent moments and it gives you a sense of the show.
