Relative Strangers makes network debut on Comedy Central

by Adam Finley, posted Feb 14th 2007 8:29AM

ron livingstonI loves myself some Ron Livingston. It's mostly due to his laid back lead role in Office Space, but I'm always impressed by that "everyman" thing he does so well. Alas, I've never seen Relative Strangers, the 2006 comedy starring Livingston, but I and everyone else will have a chance to catch it on Comedy Central on March 17 at 10:00 p.m.

Livingston plays a psychiatrist named Richard Clayton who sets out to find his birth parents, only to find out they're trailer trash with the surname "Manure" (played by Danny DeVito and Kathy Bates). I'm liking this movie already based on the talent alone, and as The Waterboy demonstrated, Bates knows how to play a hick.

UPDATE: An early draft of this post mistakenly identified the movie as a new Comedy Central series. That was my mistake, a result of misreading the press release. Thanks to those who pointed that out. I promise to report with greater care in the future.

Actually, I did.

You must learn patience, my child.

Oh and nice job going back and re-editing your post, without making any notes that you did so.

Seriously, did you do any research for this story? That's a movie, not a TV series.

Are you sure this is a new series or just the Comedy Central airing of the movie with the same name, same actors, and same plot?

I thought Ron Livingston was on Standoff. Has that show been canceled? Not that I watch it.

Those are some heavy hitters for a Comedy Central show. But they had me with Ron Livingston... I'm even entertained by his commercials for cell phone service (Sprint, maybe?).

Also, Amy Sedaris and Kevin McDonald in "Strangers with Brain Candy"?
