Abby

This is a thoroughly forgettable sitcom. Sydney Tamiia Poitier (yes, his daughter) stars as the newly promoted producer of a sports news show. That setting and her semi-interesting living arrangements make up the "high-ish concept" of the show. Having recently broken up with her insensitive boyfriend, she now shares their apartment with him, as neither is willing to cede the space to the other. Poitier is lovely in an understated way, and believable as a actress, but her personality is too low-key for this kind of show. Kadeem Hardison, as her live-in ex, has completely left his "Different World" dweeb behind, and fares better. If the scripts were funnier, the otherwise pedestrian production would be acceptable, but each episode so far has contained at most a handful of mild laughs.
