I'm all for anything that keeps "Community" on the air -- links of london sale if I wish it didn't have to go head to head with CBS' equally funny "The Big Bang Theory" at 8 -- and while I'm still not as big a fan of "Parks and Recreation" as some, I like what the addition of Adam Scott ("Party Down") has brought to it, and to star Amy Poehler, whose Leslie Knope shines brighter in his presence as she tries this season to hold on to her parks-department job while reviving the harvest festival in Pawnee, Ind. What NBC does well these days (and when was the last valentine's Day rings someone began a sentence that way?) is to put together these oddball ensembles and then stick with them long enough to let viewers become invested. Maybe that's what the about-to-be-Comcast network thinks will happen with "Perfect Couples." A show about couples-at-different-stages-of-their-relationships, "Couples" is a show that you may feel you've already seen on CBS (where it's called "Rules of Engagement") or ABC ("Better With You"). Fox's version, which is actually kind of funny, is called "Traffic Light" and premieres Feb. 8. There being few original ideas in television, execution matters. And though "Couples" fields a good cast, including Kyle Bornheimer ("Worst Week") and Mary Elizabeth Ellis ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"), the two episodes I screened mostly felt forced and Links of London Classic Smiley Minx Charm. One fun fact not found in the network bios: Hayes MacArthur, who plays one-half of the couple striving hardest to be "perfect," is named after the actress Helen Hayes. "Helen Hayes was my great-aunt," MacArthur said last week, adding that his wife, Cherry Hill's Ali Larter ("Heroes"), gave birth in December to their son, whose middle name is Hayes. James MacArthur, TV's first Dano on the original "Hawaii Five-O," who died in October, was his father's cousin, he said. In his more immediate family, his brother's also an actor and "my mom was a singer in Chicago, and still is a cabaret singer, and Links of London Classic Frown Charm was very theatrical," he said.
