This daily, hour-long talk/advice series was hosted by the San Francisco-based, "aggressively uncool" standup comedian Greg Behrendt. A recognized authority in the field of human relations, Behrendt had formerly served as consultant on the cable sitcom Sex and the City, and in collaboration with Liz Tuccilo was the author of the bestseller He's Just Not That Into You. On his own series, Behrendt appeared before a loud and appreciative studio audience, dealing with domestic marital and sexual relationships of all kinds. In one episode, he dispensed advice on how to survive a fractious family Thanksgiving dinner; on another, he suggested style and attitude makeovers for "dull" spouses; and on still another, he helped single mothers re-enter the dating scene. Though he referred to himelf as a "motivator" and "big brother", Behrendt generally encouraged his guests to help themselves without relying upon the aid of others. Distributed by Sony Pictures, The Greg Behrendt Show debuted in most markets on September 12, 2006. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Comedian and best-selling author Greg Behrendt stifles the sound of the dying hipster deep inside as he deconstructs the popular perception of "cool" while simultaneously re-defining the concept of "adulthood" in this stand up performance captured live at the Improv in San Jose. In his best-selling book He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys, Greg Behrendt exposed the female population to the true motivations behind the male psyche. Now with his twenties a distant memory, his thirties fading fast, and his forties becoming an ever deepening reality, the once-cool Gen-Xer finds himself increasingly identified as the "creepy old guy" at rock shows. In this insightful and introspective look at the cultural definition of "cool," Behrendt begs the question of why age is often the first indicator of said status while exploring just what it means to have the youthful indicator stripped away by age when you still feel like a teenager at heart. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Pat Hingle guests as Jack Hackett, the colorful grandfather of brothers Joe (Tim Daly) and Brian (Steven Weber). While Grandpa Jack regales the boys with stories of his adventures throughout the world, Helen (Crystal Bernard) and Casey (Amy Yasbeck) cannot help but notice that these "adventures" are strikingly similar to the plotlines of several old movies. Even more troubling is the possibility that Joe and Brian's tale-spinning guest may not be the real Grandpa Jack at all! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
