“#Sitcom king Chuck Lorre strikes again with ‘B Positive’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n It\u2019s almost a given by now that any Chuck Lorre sitcom will be cleverly cast and sharply written, with snapp<\/a>y one-liners offset by a smattering of heartfelt sincerity.<\/p>\n

\u201cB Positive\u201d meets all the criteria \u2014 and starts with a bang on what should be a successful run.<\/p>\n

Lorre\u2019s new CBS sitcom premieres Nov. 5 at 8:30 p.m. following\u00a0 \u201cYoung Sheldon,\u201d his top-rated comedy series<\/a>. It\u00a0stars Thomas Middleditch as Drew Dunbar, a young psychologist and divorced dad of a surly teenage daughter, Maddie (Izzy G.). He\u2019s having trouble with his anatomical plumbing, and a visit to his doctor confirms that Drew needs a kidney transplant. \u201cNothing in your body should ever be \u2018through the roof\u2019 \u201d his doctor says when Drew questions his blood test. His next goal: to find a kidney donor and, for now, not telling Maddie or his ex-wife, Julia (Sara Rue).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not so easy.<\/p>\n

While attending a wedding shortly after his diagnosis, Drew (reluctantly) runs into bridesmaid Gina (Annaleigh Ashford), a hard-partying high school acquaintance who drives a senior van for an assisted living facility. She \u2014 or rather her drunken alter-ego, \u201cBecca\u201d \u2014 offers to be Drew\u2019s kidney donor, and after being turned down by his friends (and his own doctor \u2014 a nice comedic touch), Drew circles back to Gina. The caveat: that she stay clean and sober for three months to keep her kidneys healthy.<\/p>\n

\u201cB Positive\u201d moves quickly along without any distracting throwaways, and there\u2019s a nice chemistry between Middleditch, late of HBO\u2019s \u201cSilicon Valley,\u201d and Ashford, who\u2019s good in just about everything (particularly on Showtime\u2019s \u201cMasters of Sex\u201d). They both know their way around a spunky line of dialogue, and the writing is clever in establishing a comic framework that should propel the series along as Drew and Gina continue their journey together.<\/p>\n

\u201cB Positive\u201d will fit comfortably between \u201cYoung Sheldon\u201d and one of Lorre\u2019s other CBS sitcoms, \u201cMom\u201d; viewers familiar with Lorre\u2019s Emmy-winning Netflix comedy, \u201cThe Kominsky Method,\u201d and Sandy\u2019s (Michael Douglas) prostate woes \u2014 and the cardiac-driven comedy on Lorre\u2019s fourth<\/em> CBS entry, \u201cBob Hearts Abishola\u201d (back Nov. 16) \u2014 will appreciate the medical humor.<\/p>\n

And pay attention to the riders in Gina\u2019s senior van \u2014 eagle-eyed viewers might recognize 87-year-old Bernie Kopell (Siegfried from \u201cGet Smart\u201d and Dr. Adam Bricker from \u201cThe Love Boat\u201d), who will be a recurring character this season. Throw in the show\u2019s \u201cMonty Python\u201d-style opening animation \u2014 and its catchy title \u2014 and there\u2019s a lot to like about this series.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
