SERIES PREMIERE: Chuck Lorre, co-creator and overseer of CBS’s The Big Bang Theory, foregoes the studio audience and multi-camera approach to present this eight-episode comedy series about two very old friends – emphasis on the old. Michael Douglas, 74, is veteran Hollywood acting coach Sandy Kominsky, and Alan Arkin, 84, is his sarcastic and honest agent, Norman Newlander. They meet for lunch and drinks at Musso & Frank’s, where their waiter is even older, and get through life, where Sandy teaches an acting class (shades of Henry Winkler in HBO’s Barry) and Norman cares for his ailing wife, Eileen (Susan Sullivan). Co-stars include Lisa Edelstein from Fox’s House, M.D., Nancy Travis, and a cameo from Douglas’ old buddy Danny DeVito. Like The Big Bang Theory, Lorre’s The Kominsky Method is full of endearing characters – and is quite funny. And, sometimes, touching as well.
