Four guys who carpool to work every day come to savor their commute as the only safe time to commiserate about jobs, families - and secrets. Even though "what happens in the carpool stays in the carpool," they'll go beyond the boundaries of this fast-moving commuter confessional to get involved in each other's lives and develop friendships.
For all of the garbage sitcoms that run for years and years it amazes me that this only lasted 13 episodes. The four main characters, who carpool to work each day, have great chemistry, each with very different lives with their own unique set of problems and personalities. Laird, played by Jerry O'Connell, is the pick of them as a shallow, insecure, womanising, dentist. The secondary characters, like the eccentric Marmaduke, (one of the character's sons), are also a laugh and others play their role well. There were people involved in the show with links to Arrested Development and it does share some of that quirky and unique humour. Thankfully as well, there is no laugh track. I put one person onto this show and they 'binged' it all one episode after the other.
