<p>Remember SEINFELD? That little show where three guys and a girl sat around and mercilessly dissected every flaw in their significant other&#8217;s lives? Well apparently you&#8217;re not the only one.</p>
<p>Executive produced by the Farrelly Brothers and featuring an incredibly like-able cast including Craig Bierko [BOSTON LEGAL], Rashida Jones [THE OFFICE], Johnny Sneed and Shaun Majumder. Fox&#8217;s new comedy <strong>UNHITCHED</strong> is pretty much what one imagines you&#8217;d get when you combine the likes of SEINFELD with THERE&#8217;S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY.</p>
<p>Groundbreaking it&#8217;s not, but as long as you&#8217;re not expecting ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT levels of comedic brilliance and are prepared for some slightly off color humor [see: one very horny monkey] than UNHITCHED might be for you.  At the very least, it&#8217;s far more entertaining than its former FAMILY GUY time slot companion AMERICAN DAD.</p>
<p>To talk about the show, this TV Addict had the fantastic opportunity to sit down with the incredibly tall series star Craig Bierko last month in Hollywood. Here&#8217;s what he had to say about UNHITCHED, everyone&#8217;s favorite Dunder Mifflin regional manager Rashida Jones and bathing John Malkovich.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>The TV Addict: You look a lot bigger in person!</strong></font><strong><br />
Craig Bierko:</strong> I&#8217;m a big man. I&#8217;m a close up of myself.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>So what can you tell us about the show?</strong></font><br />
It&#8217;s about three divorced guys who are getting back into the dating world. We&#8217;re all in our late 30&#8242;s to early 40&#8242;s and as pathetic as it sounds, we&#8217;re looking for love. Rashida Jones plays our divorce lawyer who lives next door.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>On camera you and Rashida look pretty similar height wise. Yet having met her in person <a href="http://thetvaddict.com/2007/09/26/the-tv-addict-goes-hollywood/">[at last Fall's FOX Fall Launch]</a> I know she&#8217;s quite petite. </strong></font><br />
She&#8217;s only about seven inches tall, the size of a Bic pen. She actually has a handle on her back and can fit in my pocket!</p>
<p><span id="more-3032"></span><br />
<font color="#ff6600"><strong>What attracted you to the show?</strong></font><br />
It&#8217;s got a real simple concept and I like things that are really simple. Some of my favorite shows are CHEERS and TAXI. You put a bunch of losers in a room with good writers, good relationships and strong characters. I&#8217;m done with shows where there is a dog and we hear his thoughts and he&#8217;s captain of the police.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Your resume is a mile long. Do you have a preference between TV, Film or Broadway?</strong></font><br />
I like work. Every-time I&#8217;m stupid enough to say I&#8217;m going to do a movie. I end up marching on Broadway with a feather in my cap. I learned a while ago that you can&#8217;t predict anything in this business. And that hopefully as an actor I&#8217;ll be in a position where I can select projects. No more&#8230; &#8220;Look, we have this &#8216;High C&#8217; commercial that you&#8217;d be perfect for!&#8221;</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>What are you recognized most for?</strong></font><br />
Usually with the ladies it&#8217;s for SEX AND THE CITY. Though lately it occurred to me that I was getting recognized for an entirely different actor which is a bit embarrassing. I have a lot of messages to pass along to someone else!</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Any talk of you returning to NIP/TUCK [Bierko did a guest spot as a very interesting studio executive this season]?</strong></font><br />
I&#8217;d love to. I love Ryan Murphy and that character.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Was your character modeled after anyone in particular?</strong></font><br />
Not that I know of. If he was, Ryan didn&#8217;t tell me. I was just so happy to be there. They&#8217;re really nice guy [Julian McMahon and Dylan Walsh] and they&#8217;re very open when it comes to doing that show. They let you loose which is very unique in the world of TV.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Do you have a favorite show currently on television?</strong></font><br />
I know I should be saying the entire FOX lineup! But I love the <a href="http://www.superdeluxe.com/sd/artist/maria_bamford">Maria Bamford show</a>. Maria Bamford is a comedian who I&#8217;ve always been a fan of. The premise is that she&#8217;s had a breakdown in Hollywood doing standup, so she goes home and does it from her bedroom. It&#8217;s really fantastic.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Ever thought of jumping on the online video bandwagon?</strong></font><br />
Funny you should ask. I just shot a show called BATHING WITH BIERKO.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Seriously?</strong></font><br />
Yeah we just shot it with John Malkovich <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/superdeluxecomedy/2296731544/">[see pic]</a></p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Craig, I really don&#8217;t know you well enough to tell if you&#8217;re messing with me!</strong></font><br />
No really, it will be up in a month.</p>
<p>While BATHING WITH BIERKO is coming soon <a href="http://www.superdeluxeblog.com/2008/02/27/its-true-were-going-to-wash-john-malkovich/">[click here]</a>, you can catch Bierko along with Rashida Jones, Johnny Sneed and Shaun Majumder on the series premiere of UNHITCHED, tonight on FOX following FAMILY GUY. [9:30PM]</p>
