'Three Sisters'

Three sisters -- a blond, a brunette and a redhead.

This seems to be the only plot line in NBC's new situation comedy, Three Sisters, which airs at 9:30 p.m. Tuesdays.

Vicki Lewis is the neurotic redhead sister, Katherine La Nasa is the blond Martha Stewart wannabe and A.J. Langer is the flighty brunette in this sitcom, which debuted on Jan. 9.

David Alan Basche plays Steven, who is married to La Nasa's character Bess. After Bess and Steven's wedding, Bess's two sisters move in with them and intrude on their honeymoon period.

Steven provides the voice-over narration in each episode. As he explained in the first show, "When you marry a woman with sisters, it's a package deal."

Dyan Cannon plays Honey, the sisters' mother, who — with big blond curls and tight black leather pants — is 50 going on 16. Director Peter Bonerz also plays George, the girls' father.

Admittedly, I'm not a big fan of sitcoms, especially one as sappy and trite as Three Sisters. The other sisters making a mountain out of a molehill overshadow the few sarcastic and mildly witty lines delivered by Lewis's character. There has to be something better to watch on Tuesday nights than this show.
