Tone deaf?

I watch this teaser clip for an upcoming CBS sitcom that's under fire. The premise and casting are suspect.

A trade paper lists all the reasons here.

Producer Chuck Lorre is celebrated for his formulaic line-joke-line-joke comedies.

But I instantly think: I've seen Al the Afghan, this smart-alec sitcom character with all the good lines before.

Personable. New guy, new land.

Duck out of water.

Who is it?

Alf.
