This comedy attempts to replicate the "How I Met Your Mother" formula-- the comeback of a young actor, a group of friends that includes some long-term couples etc.-- but fails miserably.

Friends With... may be more insulting than usual coming after a nine-year series that was better by some measure in retreading the same material.

The cast feels solid, and likable, jelling swiftly.

It's a telling thing when the most clever thing about a new show is its title.

The humor is decidedly caustic and surprisingly smutty. This might work as a cable comedy, where they could be explicit. On a network, it just seems insolently self-satisfied.

A disappointing new sitcom.
