Crowded (2016)

Handsome hunk Patrick Warburton knows his way around TV. Following his stints on the hits Seinfeld (1995-1998), The Tick (2001-2002), Less than Perfect (2003-2006) and Rules of Engagement (2007-2013), the boob tube babe starred in Crowded (2016). Alas, the situation comedy only lasted one season. Not to be confused with the Apple TV+ drama The Crowded Room (2023), this NBC romp takes an old school approach to delivering prime time laughs. In other words, the sitcom is filmed in front of a live audience as it follows helicopter pilot Mike Moore (Warburton) and his therapist wife Martina (Carrie Preston). Although they’re empty nesters, their daughters Shea (Miranda Cosgrove) and Stella (Mia Serafino) move back home. If that’s not packed enough, Mike’s dad (Stacy Keach) and stepmom (Carlease Burke) put their Florida relocation plans on hold, making Mike and Martina’s life even more crowded than ever. Did we mention Sandy (Betty White), one of Martina’s patients, moves into the Moore house and refuses to go? The humorous saga also includes a high school bully (David Spade) from Mike’s past; a woman (Carol Kane) who claims to be Mike’s mother; and Mike’s stepbrother (Clifford McGhee). Best of all, the show showcases Mr. Warburton’s bod! In episode 9, Patrick opens his robe to expose his hairy chest as Ms. White oils him up. Despite the fact that critics’ reviews were mixed, we can all agree this scene is sexy. Crowded’s run may have been brief but Pat’s pecs will make you long in the jeans!
