Don't Trust the B—- in Apartment 23 (8:30 p.m., ABC/Ch. 4) is about a naïve young Indiana woman, June (Dreama Walker), who moves to New York City and, after a run of bad luck, moves in with constantly on-the-make Chloe (Krysten Ritter).

The sitcom has possibilities. It's weird, offbeat and pretty funny. And the presence of James Van Der Beek is all of the above - he plays a fictionalized version of himself, a has-been "Dawson's Creek" actor who is Chloe's platonic best friend.

This is not "Friends." June is a nice person, but she might be the only one. And she quickly learns Chloe's mean game.

It is, however, pretty funny. Which is refreshing in a sitcom.
