ABC's New Shows for the 2006-07 Season

Big Day
Comedy

Premise: Pitched as "24" meets "Father of the Bride," the show chronicles one big day -- in this case, the wedding day -- in the life of a young couple.

First Impressions: After retooling "Jake in Progress" to remove its real-time aspect, ABC takes another crack at "24," The Comedy, with this show about a young couple on their wedding day. Like "Jake," Wendie Malick is in it, and like "Jake," there's only so much she can do to help. There are mildly amusing jokes about wedding music and Caesar salad, but if you've seen "Father of the Bride," you'll see a lot of the jokes coming from a good ways off.

Stars: Marla Sokoloff ("The Practice," "Modern Men"), Josh Cooke ("Four Kings"), Wendie Malick ("Just Shoot Me"), Kurt Fuller ("Desperate Housewives"), Miriam Shor ("Hedwig and the Angry Inch"), Stephen Rannazzisi ("Kitchen Confidential"), Stephanie Weir ("Fun with Dick and Jane")

Studio: Sony Pictures Television

Producers: Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa ("13 Going on 30," "The King of Queens")
