9JKL is a CBS sitcom that aired from 2017 to 2018. The show follows the life of Josh Roberts, a newly divorced actor who moves into an apartment in New York City's Upper West Side, which happens to be located next to his parents' apartment and his younger brother's apartment. The title of the show, 9JKL, is a reference to the apartment number that Josh's character lives in.

Mark Feuerstein stars as Josh Roberts, the main character of the show. He is an actor who returns to New York City after a stint in Los Angeles to recover from his divorce. He moves into an apartment in the building where he grew up, located next door to his parents, Harry and Judy Roberts, played by Elliott Gould and Linda Lavin, respectively. Harry and Judy are very involved in Josh's life, and they often barge into his apartment unannounced. Josh's younger brother, Andrew, played by David Walton, lives in another apartment in the building, and he is also very involved in Josh's life.

Liza Lapira plays Eve, Josh's ex-wife's best friend, who often provides Josh with advice on his love life. She is a recurring character on the show. In addition, several other recurring characters, such as Josh's agent, Marv, played by Albert Tsai, and Andrew's girlfriend, Eve, played by Dana Delorenzo, add to the dynamic of the show.

The show's premise revolves around the complicated relationships Josh has with his family and how they impact his personal and professional life. Although Josh loves his family, he often feels suffocated by them and struggles to find his place in the world. His parents, Harry and Judy, are overly involved in his life and often try to control his decisions. Andrew, on the other hand, is selfish and takes advantage of Josh's generosity.

The show balances humor and heart as it explores Josh's relationships with his family, his love life, and his acting career. Despite the challenges he faces, Josh remains optimistic and determined to make a successful career for himself.

One of the unique aspects of 9JKL is how it integrates the diverse personalities of the characters into the show's narrative. Harry and Judy are traditional and often out-of-touch with modern society, while Andrew is a womanizer who works as a surgeon. Eve is an independent woman who is determined to live life on her own terms. The show uses these differing personalities to create conflict and humor, making for an entertaining viewing experience.

The show received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, and it was ultimately canceled after one season. Some critics praised the show's cast and its portrayal of family dynamics, while others criticized its predictability and reliance on tired sitcom tropes.

Overall, 9JKL is a light-hearted sitcom that explores the complexities of family relationships. While it may not appeal to everyone, it offers a charming and relatable portrayal of a dysfunctional yet loving family.

9JKL is a series that ran for 1 seasons (16 episodes) between October 2, 2017 and on CBS
