kookiest kind. Six episodes; approx.

"FORTYSOMETHING Before he starred as a dyspeptic genius physician on “House,” Hugh Laurie starred as a dyspeptic physician in the thrall of a midlife crisis in the British comedy “Fortysomething.” Here he plays Paul Slippery, a man dealing with his wife’s professional turnaround and her possible wandering eye. At work he is mired in bureaucracy and at home he is given little reprieve, tortured as he is by his three sex-obsessed sons. The series, which was shown in 2003, is six episodes long; Mr. Laurie directed the first three. What “House” fan is likely to return it? "
