I haven’t had time to do a proper review of Comedy Central’s Halfway Home, which debuts tonight, and my deadlines being what they are, it doesn’t look like that’s likely to change soon, so: watch it. That review enough for you?

OK, a little more elaboration: this largely improv comedy–set at, yes, a halfway house–is a little like Reno 911!: The Other Side of the Law. (Reno returns April 1, by the way.) Meaning, the point isn’t so much the plot as the dialogue and small moments. Also, for fans of The Office’s Oscar Nunez–who co-created this show–this is a chance to see him the way you always wanted to: as a gay-male prostitute with uncomfortable-to-describe body piercings. I’m sure I just doubled the ratings right there.
