What were they thinking? I was excited when I learned Katey Sagal would be returning to sitcoms in NBC's "Tucker," but I was horribly disappointed when I finally saw what had happened. First of all, NBC stuck it on what I refer to as "Must-Kill-TV" night. This was paired with the funny tried-and-true-traditional-sitcom "Daddio," (which NBC went out of their way to 86) and the Oliver Platt Drama "Deadline," all of which had nothing in common. And not only did "Tucker"'s makers blatantly rip-off FOX's "Malcolm in the Middle," but they made it far too horny and unlikable. This is one of the few shows that didn't have a single character that you could be sympathetic to, particularly the obnoxious title character. The acting was good, but when all of the characters are evil and obnoxious, what's the point? After three episodes I wasn't at all sorry to see this one go!
