Team Spitz

It’s not often a sitcom comes along that pleases the world’s comedy nerds, but the upcoming CBS series Team Spitz – starring Rob Riggle, Bob Odenkirk, and Sarah Chalke – looks like it might do the job. If you’re in the Los Angeles area this week and have no qualms about applauding on command, you can still get tickets to the taping of the show’s pilot on Friday afternoon. Tickets are available through Audiences Unlimited.
