What About Brian Originally shelved at the beginning of last year, What About Brian is a relationship drama starring Barry Watson (“7th Heavenâ€?) about a 30-something guy looking for love. He pines for the fiancé of his best friend and this (non) relationship is the focal point of the show. Keeping two people apart is a fine line to continuously walk on a show and is a theme we've all seen innumerable times. People seem to enjoy it and, despite mediocre ratings, ABC is giving it a second chance. It's good to see a network have faith in a struggling show, but I just don't see What About Brian succeeding in the long run.
