“The best of this batch is Best of "The Bowman Brothers Radio Hour" (Fri 7 PM), an odd, loose, funny variation on the live-radio-style theatrical format. The Bowmans (Mitch Salm and Brian Byrne) stand at a single microphone and narrate scenes from the exquisitely hapless life of a schlemiel named Jonathan. We meet his impatient wife, crass in-laws, manipulative therapist, and outperforming colleague, all of whom seem bent on confirming his growing sense that he's "nothing." Jonathan looks for a new job only to find his current one posted as available, lets a waitress eat from his plate, has an epiphany nobody wants to hear about. Perhaps worst of all, Salm and Byrne switch off playing him, as if not even they acknowledge his being. It's contemporary Kafka, played for laughs.”
