With Kath & Kim apparently drowned in a pool of its own self-tanner, Parks and Recreation floundering despite itself, The Office seeming more and more like a show sadly past its prime and Chuck still chugging right along despite—wait, Chuck is still on?, it might not seem like the best time for NBC to introduce yet another comedy about lovable losers.
