Sitcoms burn through the week with crude humor
A TV critic reviews NBCs Men Behaving Badly and ABCs Townies airing tonight. He calls both backlash comedies relying on toilet humor, notes Men Behaving Badly improves slightly with a slick opening and clever cuts, but the show still features raunchy material and frat humor. Townies stars Molly Ringwald and Jenna Elfman in a small New England town, depicting waitresses and friends in a fishy economy with blunt humor and crude dialogue.
