COMEDY
John Lithgow and Jeffrey Tambor play two old friends, a surgeon and a judge, heading into late middle age and newly resolved to treat the rest of their lives as a grand adventure. The setup has elements of both The Odd Couple (Lithgow is the brash leader, Tambor the shy, cautious follower) and Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. So far, it's of interest only for watching Lithgow—who likes to shout his lines with quivering urgency, as if he'd just seen a UFO—as he goes over the top to get a laugh. Surprisingly often, he succeeds.
