It's always nice to be pleasantly surprised and that happened as I screened "Wedding Band," (10 p.m. Saturday, TBS), an hourlong comedy about yes, a wedding band.

I wasn't expecting much because TBS' slogan 'very funny' has often been overstatement, if not an outright lie. And while "Wedding Band" isn't flat-out hilarious, I was smiling at the end of the feel-good pilot. Its portrayal of four male friends is closer in sensibility to "Men Of A Certain Age" than TBS' own "Men at Work."
