This show will seem familiar to you if you've seen My Name is Earl and/or Raising Hope. If you've seen both, imagine the MNiE plot (roughly) with some of the main characters from Hope. I do take some issue with the evident double standard. In Raising Hope, Martha Plimpton plays opposite Garrett Dillahunt as a happily married couple, with the inimitable Cloris Leachman as the crazy old lady character. Just over 12 years later, and Dillahunt plays the romantic lead here, and Plimpton has been relegated to the Mamaw role while Shakira Barrera is now the romantic lead opposite Dillahunt. I have no problem with the subject matter of this very funny show, but Plimpton has been wronged.
