Brothers: I watched so you don't have to

I chose to do an interview with Michael Strahan last week rather than a proper review of his new sitcom "Brothers" (which debuts tonight at 8 on Fox with two episodes) because I didn't have the heart to stomp all over the guy who stomped out the Patriots in Super Bowl 42.

But in all candor, "Brothers" is not anything you might classify as "good." Fienberg gets into cataloging the number of jokes in the pilot that are either about the gap in Strahan's teeth, co-star Daryl "Chill" Mitchell being in a wheelchair, or dad Carl Weathers apparently suffering early-onset Alzheimer's (a plotline that's abandoned altogether in the second episode). It's...

Nah, I can't say anything more. But even if Strahan and that Giants team holds a special place in your heart, pass. You'll want to remember him sacking Tom Brady, and not this.
