In some ways, ‘Breaking In’ (9:30PM ET Wednesday, Fox) is exactly what you’d expect. The new comedy about a team of security experts stars Christian Slater doing his Christian Slater schtick, which hasn’t changed much in the last couple of decades. It also features Bret Harrison doing his usual put-upon everyman thing, which has been seen in everything from ‘Reaper’ to ‘V’ to ‘The Loop,’ a short-lived Fox sitcom from a few years ago.
Yet there’s a frisky energy to this half-hour comedy, which does two things for which I’m grateful: It takes a concept suited to a USA Network show and crunches it down to half an hour (a move that I think would benefit some of USA’s less sturdy programs), and it does not offer viewers yet another take on young adults navigating the pitfalls of modern relationships, as almost every other mid-season comedy has.
The truth is, if you like Slater and enjoy the work of Michael Rosenbaum and Alyssa Milano, both of whom offer excellent guest turns on the show, ‘Breaking In’ is not a bad way to spend half an hour.
