network debut Friday, January 28 at 8:00 p.m., ET/PT, followed by a second, all-new episode at 8:30 p.m., ET/PT. The new 12 episode, multi-camera series follows Carli Mitchell (Melissa Peterman), a single mom from a rough and tumble background, trying to give her three kids a better life by moving them to an upscale suburb. She quickly finds that making the transition to “the good life” is harder than she thought. She's unwittingly befriended by her cranky neighbor, Hank (Ed Asner), her only “career” prospect is a glorified deli job at the local grocery store, and the man she falls for not only already has a girlfriend – but he’s also her boss, Rob (Patrick Fabian). With her ladies-man brother, Nick (Steve Kazee), to help her out (when he’s not acting like one of the kids himself), Carli faces the challenges of parenting, dating, and making friends in her new community by doing more with less, staying true to herself and approaching each day with a touch of
working class.
I just got done watching a full episode and I will be programming the DVR tonight so I don't miss any of the future episodes. I have admitted more than once to my reality TV addiction, but inspite of that (or in addition to it maybe) I love good sitcoms. I miss the days of The Cosby Show, Growing Pains and the like. More recently, I LOVED Reba. Partly because I love Reba but also because it was a good show with a great cast...including Melissa Peterman. I have seen Melissa Peterman on a couple talk shows and I just love her. But this show...it hooked me in the first 2 minutes. Although I am not a single mom, like her character, we have a LOT of other things in common. And I think that many people will find the same!
