The new comedy "Kevin from Work" (8 and 8:30 p.m., ABC Family) isn't hilarious, but it is amusing. And it's extremely likable.
Kevin (Noah Reid) has just quit his job and is headed overseas. He gets drunk and write his co-worker, Audrey (Paige Spara) a letter professing his unrequited love.
And then the new job falls through and Kevin has to go back and work alongside Audrey again. She's got a boyfriend, and it's wildly awkward. And amusing.
Honestly, this is better than several of the new comedies that will debut on the broadcast networks this fall.
