From the desk
How this season is filed
Nantucket as a one-plane airline sitcom: brothers, a cello, and Cheers-adjacent producers with salt air instead of bar stools. Tim Daly and Steven Weber bicker through Hackett Aviation while Crystal Bernard and Thomas Haden Church keep the terminal human. Must-See depth-chart comedy — gentler, seaside, and sneakily well-built if you like ensembles that actually clock in.
