A standout comedy with a lousy title.

What works so well in the series is that the four friends are so distinctly different, and the writers are able to adjust the level of humor to each.

The relatively no-name cast (which includes Craig Bierko as a recently dumped financial planner, Rashida Jones as a divorce lawyer better at managing breakups than relationships, and Johnny Sneed as a three-time-loser party boy) is excellent, and the goofball writing hilarious.... But this is buyer-beware territory, with something to offend practically everybody whose age or IQ exceeds 16.

Unhitched is not frantic. The actors, led by laid-back Bierko, give appealing performances. If you don't mind a knockoff of Seinfeld, Unhitched could be for you.

Some of it is quite funny and so are the situations in which these four characters find themselves.

Even when Unhitched isn't funny--and the second episode is definitely an improvement on the pilot, which tries too hard--it at least isn't vile.

While Unhitched certainly contains its share of gross-out moments, these moments all feel so hopelessly forced and happen to characters we care so little about that they don't carry the comedic weight they should.

The show doesn't ever really develop a comic center, or a heart. It's just a bunch of pointless monkey business.

All in all, it is pretty thin and flat; there are jokes that work, and the cast is able, but not in the service of anything substantial.

Let's say Unhitched just isn't very funny.
