'Unhitched'

A post-"Seinfeld" pals-comedy (in the classic proportion of three males to one female), Fox's "Unhitched" has the distinction, if that's the right word, of being executive produced by the Farrelly brothers, of "Dumb and Dumber," "There's Something About Mary" and "Shallow Hal" fame. The Farrellys, who directed the pilot episode as well, have not gone broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. Or let me put that more kindly: Their patented blend of romantic comedy and stupid ickiness serves the people's need for gross humor not devoid of "heart." I expect there are those who will regard "Unhitched" as a riotous good time from the nearly opening moment when Jack, also known as "Gator" (Craig Bierko), is raped by a date's pet monkey. It was a good date up until then, though.
