breakout. he is hilarious as this character. he is a total slacker and gives zach like the worst advice ever. but you know cares about him and they are constantly infiltrating my life and causing trouble. and the show is hilarious. it is a little edgey but it also has a lot of warmth and real -- there's real care between bill lee and zach and the show is grounded in that and that lets us go off on more outrageous moments come immediaticly. it is well rounded and written and laugh outloud funny. >> we will be looking for it. accidentally on purpose will premier on monday. it begins at 8:30 right here on wusa. you can see jenna elfman and her boy toy and all the other characters in this incredible comedy. we thank you for being with us and we look forward to the
