And there's a link there to this silly side project he did, which looks like a parody promo for a CW (hahaha) show, check it out, Bret is very cute and funny. The parody is a tad gory though. I wonder if this is Bret's way of stabbing at Gossip Girl and 90210?

Just watched Bret's new show, Breaking In, Wednesdays, 9:30 on Fox. It's a quick half hour comedy, but not dumb or slapsticky. Great caper concept, with a fairly amusing and random team. Bret is fantastic, slightly geeky, unassuming, but expressive and hot as ever. Christian Slater plays the boss and definitely has star power.

Thanks to kathyk for finding this interview with Bret about the new show. He talks about Reaper and Twitter, and promos some upcoming themes for the new show.

Fun "behind the scenes" (though not really) promo for the episode tonight. Bret mentions Reaper! And looks a bit uncomfortable when he does. But that might be because of the mustache.

So Bret was in tonight's episode of Love Bites, about which I know nothing, but it seems to be in line with Stop Lights and that other one I kind of liked with Damon Wayans Jr, all take-offs on Friends, and why is this kind of show trending right now?
ANYway, what I don't get is that apparently Bret is just a guest star, but he seemed to have a major role opposite Michele Trachtenberg. I can't quite figure it out, is it like the old show Love, American Style with different vignettes and characters every week?
Bret was cute, however. Check out our buddies at bretharrison.com for more episode stills!

News about Bret's Show! Megan Mullaly's gotta be a good sign, right? Except I don't like the switch to "office comedy." I thought the capers were the best part of the show!
Megan Mullally Joins Fox’s ‘Breaking In’ As New Regular As Part Of Creative Revamp By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Friday November 4, 2011
The Breaking In gang is getting a new boss. After a hot pursuit by the producers, Megan Mullally has closed a rich deal to join the Fox comedy as a new regular. Mullally’s character will take over high-tech security firm Contra Security, which had been run by Oz (Christian Slater), who will now have his own boss.
The high-profile cast addition is part of significant creative changes the comedy created by Adam F. Goldnberg and Seth Gordon is undergoing heading into Season 2. The “mission of the week” concept where members of the Contra team go out of the office on a different assignment in every episode will be scaled back as Breaking In will segue into a more office-based comedy. Production on Season 2 is slated to begin in early January.
The series, which recently came back from a cancellation for the second time, is expected to be part of Fox’s two-hour mid season comedy block on Tuesday. Sony TV and Happy Madison are producing, with Goldberg, Gordon and Doug Robinson executive producing.
Mullally’s deal for Breaking In will allow her to continue her co-starring gig on Adult Swim’s Childrens Hospital and her recurring roles on Parks & Recreation and Happy Endings. On the Fox series, Gersh- repped Mullally joins Slater, Bret Harrison, Alphoso McAuley, Michael Rosenbaum and Odette Annable, who may be in fewer episodes as she is also a regular on Fox’s House.

Me, too, edgy--kathyk and I watched and loved it. Here's a casting update for the upcoming "season" at this link--nothing huge, and Bret is definitely still on!
