Accidentally on Purpose is CBS’s new comedy starring Jenna Elfman. She plays Billie, a newly single 37-year-old woman living in San Francisco  just out of a three-year relationship with the successful and smart, James (Grant Show). Out partying with her friend Olivia (Ashley Jensen) and sister Abby (Lennon Parham), Billie falls victim to the advances of a young smooth talker with fabulous ravioli making abilities named Zack (Jon Foster).

Although she doesn’t normally do one-night-stands, she ends up staying the night—and surprise, she gets pregnant. After telling Zack they travel to the doctors to get an ultra-sound and decide to keep the baby and enter a relationship. Does this sound a bit familiar? It should because it was like watching an alternate Knocked Up except it wasn’t funny.

And then the conflict occurs. Remember that handsome ex? He is also her boss and work who just happens to have had an epiphany and wants to take things more seriously. Billie wants to get out of her current predicament and back with James, but goes weak at the knees after Zach paints the nursery then. She decides to give it another shot.

What Accidentally on Purpose basically boiled down to was a bunch of sex, drugs, and pop culture jokes. Unfortunately, hardly anything was funny. I certainly never laughed out loud and cannot remember a scene that I found particularly enjoyable. Yes, this was only the pilot of the series, but when the very premise of the show didn’t really hold my interest and jokes are missing left and right, I can’t suggest that people watch it during the competitive time slot.
