Fox’s newest mid-season replacement, “Breaking In,” is a cross between ‘The Office’ and ‘The A-Team.’ It stars Christian Slater as Oz, the head of Contra Security, a company that tests security systems of important businesses and institutions by breaking into them before criminals or hackers can.

In the pilot, Oz breaks into Cameron’s (Bret Harrison) dorm room (Cameron is 27, and he is still in college due to his computer hacking capabilities), to offer him an ultimatum: work for Contra Security or be turned in to the university and arrested.

Cameron’s first day at the office is interrupted by fanboy/computer genius Cash’s (Alphonso McAuley) office pranks. Except Cash and his IQ of 161 take things a little farther than putting a stapler in Jell-O or sending faxes from the future. Instead, Cash screws Cameron’s desk to the ceiling and flips his car upside down. And, if that isn’t enough, Cash does so while saying what I’m sure people will consider an endearing catchphrase, “Boom goes the dynamite!”

The pilot also introduces a love triangle. Cameron finds himself attracted to the motorcycle-driving, leather-wearing, smoking hot lock-breaker, Melanie (Odette Annable), who, unfortunately for Cameron, is dating someone else—Dutch (Michael Rosenbaum, i.e. Lex Luthor from “Smallville”)—who sells clean urine on the Internet. Dutch wears Ed Hardy t-shirts, puffy vests, and light blue jeans tucked into tan Uggs. Based on the previews, he is what I imagine Dane Cook to be like in person, which, depending on whether or not you like Dane Cook, is either absolutely hilarious, or, more correctly, absolutely awful.

According to IMDB, there are also two other characters. One of them is named Josh (who has been absent from almost every Fox preview), and the other is named Creepy Carol.

Fox’s new comedy “Breaking In” airs on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. after “American Idol.”
