Who Is In It? Ray Romano, Andre Braugher, Scott Bakula
What’s It All About? Ray Romano plays Joe, a 40-ish divorced father of two who long ago gave up his dream to be a professional golfer and instead owns and runs a party store. He and his two buddies — Owen (Andre Braugher), a car salesman at his father’s dealership, and struggling-but-bright actor Terry (Scott Bakula) — have been friends since college, but as life drags the three of them kicking and screaming into middle age, they find that getting older only makes it more difficult to reinforce the bonds. Maybe not the worst concept for a show, but unfortunately for Romano, it’s still hard to see him as anybody but “Raymond,” and even harder now that the love is no longer so universal.
