Tubegazing: 'Rules of Engagement'

The new CBS comedy deals with relationships, but in that special Adam Sandler way.

Rules of Engagement ( Premières on CBS Monday, Feb. 5, 9:30 p.m.)

The most informative 411 on this new David Spade comedy about two couples and a single guy is that it comes from the comedic brain trust of Adam Sandler's production company. If you just can't get enough of those wacky juvenile jokes Sandler and crew so love, this is the show for you, not to mention those hilarious ball-and-chain sneers that guys love to swap about "relationships." Pity Patrick Warburton whose dour delivery is the brightest spot in this half hour. He clearly feels trapped, but not by his marriage. Grade C
