In the three NBC sitcoms Mark Feuertein has co-starred in, he's done a wonderful job of diplaying confusion about the bizarre antics of the women around him, but still taking it in stride. On "Caroline in the City" it was Caroline, on "Fired Up", it was Gwen and Teri, on "Conrad Bloom" it was basically the rest of the cast. Although I was sorry to see "Fired Up" go, I was more than happy to see Mark as a sitcom lead, knowing full he had enough experience in the genre to hold his own. He had a wonderful chemistry with the supporting actors, especially Lauren Graham (his ex-girlfriend-turned-best-friend Molly) and Jessica Stone (his co-worker Shelley, who recently became a mother). I would love to have seen a romance between Conrad and one of them. The show's premise was more original than most and the writing was quite clever. Sadly NBC did not agree. The show was given a dreadful timeslot on Monday night (EVERY sitcom NBC has put there has come to an early end, no doubt because most of the target audience is watch football on ABC) and it's fate was soon sealed. However those who were wise enough to have taped most of the episodes (myself included) will have had the pleasure of watching and remembering the sitcom classic that never was.
