ABC Fall Pilot Review: Dr. Ken - Premieres October 2

[TJ]

Dr. Ken - Fridays at 8:30PM ET/PT on ABC
Premieres Friday, October 2, 2015 at 8:30PM ET/PT

As general practitioners go, Dr. Ken Park (Ken Jeong) is a good one...but with a lousy bedside manner. He wants the best for his patients -- he'd just prefer that they take their whining and complaining elsewhere. At the HMO clinic where he works, he is a little too honest, but he can't seem to help himself. At home, Ken is the easily irritated father of two, facing the daily trials of fatherhood neither comfortably nor gracefully. His wife Allison (Suzy Nakamura), a psychotherapist, does her best to keep her husband's anxiety, hypersensitivity and control issues in check. While she supports their highly intellectual nine-year-old son Dave's (Albert Tsai) quest for artistic freedom, Ken envisions the kid becoming the school laughing stock. When Allison encourages trust of their 16-year-old daughter Molly (Krista Marie Yu), Ken instead decides to install a tracking device on her phone.

The self-described "five foot five inches of fury" never seems to get a break, whether at home or at the clinic, where his loyal but oh-so-irritating support staff includes a sharp tongued receptionist (Tisha Campbell-Martin) and Clark (Jonathan Slavin), Dr. Ken's faithful nurse, confidante and partner-in-crime, and of course his nemesis, hospital administrator Pat Hein (Dave Foley), who never misses a chance to put the screws to Dr. Ken and his staff. Dr. Ken Park has a pretty sweet life. A smart and beautiful wife who still wants to have sex with him every now and then, two decent kids and a job in which he gets to help people on a daily basis. If he could only relax, get out of his own way and stop second-guessing everyone and everything around him, Dr. Ken would be just fine. But that’s not likely to happen anytime soon!

I thought it was kind of stupid. But I'll keep it on because I like Last Man Standing and nothing else I like is on after it.

[TVSCREEN2015]

This show was terrible and unfunny. I won't be tuning in again.

[TVFactFan]

Can't believe Tisha Campbell decided to star in some silly sh*T like this

I would be stunned if this show is still on the air in December

[ILuvCarolBurnett]

Ken Jeong's acting is so forced and over the top that is what is annoying. He needs a good acting coach.
