My Favorite New TV Show.

I fully believe “America’s Got Talent” was created to stop people from watching “America’s Got Talent.”

Oh, by the way, America apparently doesn’t got grammar.

Yes, it’s a total piece of shit. All reality shows are. But the good news is, there are many great shows–scripted shows!–to enjoy. And I LOVE the new sitcom “Animal Practice.”

We need more whacked-out comedies like “Night Court” and “Arrested Development” that are so preposterous they oughta be animated. This show is hilarious.

And I’m not just saying it because two of my friends are involved. Scot Armstrong, the executive producer, went to grad school with me, and of course my hero, Crystal the Capuchin monkey, plays one of the leads. (Scot, by the way, wrote Old School, and then wrote The Hangover Part II, in which Crystal starred.) Also a bonus for us Yankee fans: the female lead is Nick Swisher’s wife, Joanna.

A new episode airs tonight. In the meantime, click above for last week’s cold open, in which Justin Kirk, who plays Dr. George Coleman, a vet who loves animals but just can’t deal with humans, gets ready for his day with his pal, Dr. Rizzo.
