September 25, 2012 | By David Bianculli

Fox, 8:30 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Sandwiched between fresh installments of New Girl, this new sitcom, from that show’s producers, starts out by introducing an unusual (for TV, that is) central dynamic: a grown sister and brother (played by Dakota Johnson and Nat Faxon), who actually get along. For our collective critical gang’s reaction, see our TVWW Fall TV Preview page. And for a full review, see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes.
