FOX’s “Weird Loners,” thankfully, has no laugh track. And it attempts to bring a bit of energy and style to the TV comedy genre. Its humor comes from putting its characters in extreme yet innocuous situations and taking those situations somewhat seriously. But, it isn’t funny … or interesting. Well, at least the pilot wasn’t. That’s all.

Verdict: OK

In a world full of happy couples, there are those who just can’t seem to figure it out…

WEIRD LONERS is a new single-camera comedy about four relationship-challenged mid-30-somethings who are unexpectedly thrust into one another’s lives, forming unlikely bonds in a Queens, NY, townhouse.

Starring Becki Newton (“Ugly Betty”), Zachary Knighton (“Happy Endings”), Nate Torrence (“Hello Ladies”) and newcomer Meera Rohit Kumbhani, the series explores the lives of these underdogs who, each for his/her own distinct reasons, are solo singles when most of their peers are well along the path of marriage and family.

As the members of this off-kilter quartet get to know each other, they’ll face an endless array of riotous – and likely uncomfortable – circumstances, ranging from a reunion with an estranged pre-teen son, to confusion about same-sex dating, to scheming the art world to make a quick buck.

WEIRD LONERS is a show for all those who have at some point felt scared, lost, lonely and overwhelmed in the world of love and relationships. Namely, everyone.
