CBS's new midseason comedy Rules of Engagement has generated a notable buzz at the LA Screenings, Variety reported on Wednesday.
Around 300 international acquisitions executives attended a screening for the series, about a man downtrodden by marriage.
"It started out very traditional, but slowly the jokes clicked and the characters came alive," one German buyer told the magazine.
Other shows thought to be provoking interest include JJ' Abrams Six Degrees and new dramas The Nine, Smith and Vanished.
