Summary: OUT OF PRACTICE is a comedy about a family of doctors who share little in common other than their professions.

The family consists of Ben Barnes, a couples counselor who is not considered to be a “real” doctor by the rest of the family; his brother Oliver, a good-looking, self-absorbed plastic surgeon; and sister Regina who works as a doctor in the emergency room. Their parents, Stewart, a gastroenterologist, and Lydia, a highly motivated cardiologist, are going through messy divorce. While Lydia’s career has eclipsed her soon-to-be ex’s, Stewart is dating his assistant Crystal, who is a patient of Oliver’s. With all of the chaos in this highly credentialed family, Ben appears to be the only grounded one.

Critic Reviews

Hal Boedeker

Season 1 Review: Proves that a conventionally made sitcom can still produce laughter. Read full review

David Hinckley

Season 1 Review: Its supporting players steal the spotlight from the central character. Read full review

Barry Garron

Season 1 Review: With its superb cast, impeccable direction and mostly sharp writing, "Out of Practice" demonstrates simultaneously how polished and professional a sitcom can be and why TV comedy, with a few notable exceptions, is in such a funk.

Melanie McFarland

Season 1 Review: It isn't as funny as it should be. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

Season 1 Review: If someone turns down the volume, ''Out of Practice" has the potential to become a likable, if conventional, sitcom. Read full review

Tom Gliatto

Season 1 Review: In the first few episodes, nothing's happening. No pulse. Doctor, what's wrong? [24 Oct 2005, p.41]

Verne Gay
