Laird is everyone’s favorite character on ‘Carpoolers’. After the show premiered in October 2007, many positive as well as negative reviews about his character appeared on news sites and TV magazines. Jerry O’Connell has portrayed the role and being a notorious actor, he has done justice with it. Laird has been shown as a divorced dentist and having least regrets over his divorce except that his wife taken away everything from him in the name of alimony. He lives in an emptied house. He remains boasting over his manhood and he appears really most manly among the group of carpoolers.

He takes complete advantage of his this trait and sleeps with as many women as he can. In an episode of Carpooler, Leila is also shown impressed of him and she confesses to Gracen that she thinks of being with him.

Although at some places he feels himself as not so lucky in case of married life, like other three guys. He borrows Gracen’s wedding ring saying that after wearing it Gracen’s luck will shine upon him and women will find him more desirable. At one point, Gracen’ son too kicks off the buzz that Laird is his real dad and not Gracen.

I really liked Laird’s character. He is pretty different from the other three characters. They all are busy with sorting out the problems of their married and professional life. But he is a happy go lucky kind of person and concentrates only upon spreading his charm over ladies. He would go to any extent to impress women. In an episode, ‘The Seminar’, he blames a co-worker of sexual harassment just because he wants to spend time with and enchant sexual harassment seminar leader, whom he found hot at the first sight.

He develops an inferiority complex so easily, due to other men whom women find charming. In the episode, ‘The Handsomest Man’, he doubts that perhaps he has lost his charm as another man in the office has been declared as the handsomest man by ladies.

At least I found him the funniest character and I love watching his part on the show.

‘Carpoolers’ is completely the guy’s show. Although, I don’t demean the characters of Leila and Cindy, but guys have remained the main attraction of the show from the very beginning. The storyline revolves around these four guys only. They discuss about their lives and their problems on the way to work, rather they do check if they are friends when not at work. They all are doing carpooling to support their financial conditions. The main humor factor of the show is what they discuss about their personal lives.

I enjoyed all the odd acts they do. Like in one episode, Laird brings an idea to find parking place in the parking for handicaps. He makes Gracen to act as a handicapped person but the duo got caught by the parking attendant and he given them a sound dose for that.

Gracen often regrets among the friends that he earns less than his son and his wife. Once he enters in to competition with his wife, who is a successful flipper of stock market, in an annual charity run. Gracen’s son helps him in that with his innovative ideas.

Laird, who is divorced, unites with his ex-wife once again and this kicks of the buzz in their group. Laird does score the humorous scenes due to his woman search. He continuously remains on duty of enchanting woman whether in office or outside.

Aubrey is also extremely funny with his seven kids and a lazy wife. In the finale episode he gets fired due to taking his daughter to work. Every scene at his home becomes funny with his way of tackling his noisy and undisciplined kids, when his wife is no help.

Gracen’s son Mermaduke is also not far behind than his father and his friends, he starts a new business of mowing lawns with the help of a clump of sheep.

I like this show, because of new funny incidents in every episode. You won’t find any similarity among the episodes. I found every episode funnier than the former and I still enjoy watching those here.
