Splitting Up Together

Great cast ... love Oliver Hudson ... hilarious ... as far as the show goes I'm hoping it will be a light hearted comedy and not too focused on the sexual side

Although I'm not a huge fan of half hour sit coms I am liking Jenna Fisher much better. The premise has potential and the writing is decent. A little less of the progeny and a little more Dianne Farr would be great.

Having tried this actual arrangement in my own divorce I'm amazed how relatable, poignant, and touching the whole series has been.

I really enjoyed the pilot. I am a family law attorney and deal with families in this situation all the time. It was appropriately comedic and also hit the real issues when people go through this process. Great chemistry between the main characters. Great supporting characters. I hope this show makes it!

Lena (Jenna Fischer) and Martin (Oliver Hudson) are unhappily married with three kids, Mae, Mason, and Milo. They decide to separate but stay living in the same house. They alternate living in the garage as they try to work out the new family situation. Her sister Maya (Diane Farr) has issues with her own life. Arthur (Bobby Lee) and Camille (Lindsay Price) are their married friends. Martin starts dating Lisa Apple (Monica Barbaro).

I don't really like Lena. Her character is supposed to be uptight but it doesn't come off funny. Martin doesn't have much in the way of comedy either. Bobby Lee could have been a great wacky comedic note but he doesn't have enough to do. The introduction of Lisa Apple adds a bit of spice into the mix although the sister wives get oddly creepy. The kids are underused. The show gets a little better over time but it gets canceled after two seasons. I don't mind the split up.
