Pilot Review: Traffic Light

FOX's Traffic Light is another of the ubiquitous new relationship/group of friends sitcoms, and the pilot was . . . okay. I didn't hate any of the characters at first sight, and I didn't turn it off from boredom or annoyance, and for me and sitcoms, that's actually saying a lot. On the other hand, I don't really remember much about any of the characters, and the one I'm most interested in learning more about is dead, which might explain why he seems interesting in the first place. I can't remember any particularly funny lines. I expected the car phone (car phone??) gimmick to be intolerable, but it was . . . not that bad. I know, I know, damning with faint praise here. But really, the non-awfulness made me think it might have potential, and I'll give it another episode or two. If you're only in the market for one new sitcom, I certainly would not pick this up over Mr. Sunshine, but really, you could do worse.
