Imaginary Mary

If this had been made in the 1990s, it would be right at home on TGIF between Step by Step and Boy Meets World. Jenna Elfman is the QUEEN of physical comedy (and Stephen Schneider is no slouch either). My favorite characters have to be the kids though, especially Andy. The kid that plays him is HILARIOUS. (Teenage me would have been super in love with him, for sure.) Rachel Dratch as Mary is super fun too and she is used just the right amount, not overwhelmingly so.

Imaginary Mary is just one of those sitcoms with a simple, well executed premise that the whole family can enjoy. It really has so much potential, hopefully ABC thinks so too.

I was watching TV one night and saw the preview of this show and I was interested in the previews and I gotta say that I was not disappointed in the least with the show it's hilarious and heartwarming Mary is terrific and hilarious I gotta say though I wouldn't recommend the show to super small children due to the fact that Mary can be a bad influence she curses and uses sexual jokes but I consider her bad behaviour hilarious just watch with impressionable kids and you should be fine it's hilarious

The show is OK, but nothing Mary does or says anymore is funny. Most of her lines these days are like "way to go!" or "woo who!" - what would make the show great is if Mary was a total nutcase and made Alice's life a living hell.

There are funny moments that come from the interaction between Alice and the family though.

I love Jenna Elfman, she's a very talented physical comedienne and often very affecting in dramatic roles. The 3 kids were funny and clever, too. BUT - I would pay to watch an episode in which she immolated that stupid fugly stuffed thing on a hibachi while basting it with Wild Turkey and stabbing it to death with a barbecue fork.

Alice (Jenna Elfman) survived the disintegration of her family at the age of 6 by creating Imaginary Mary (Rachel Dratch). Mary slowly disappeared as Alice grew up. Alice now runs her own PR firm. She lives an independent relationship-free life until divorcée Ben (Stephen Schneider) shows up at her work. He has three kids; Andy (Nicholas Coombe), Dora (Matreya Scarrwener), and Bunny (Erica Tremblay). Mary reappears in Alice's life as she faces the challenges of being in a new relationship.

Critically panned with no audience, this late-season replacement was canceled after seven episodes. I love Jenna Elfman ever since Dharma and I don't see the hate for Mary. Ben could be more appealing but I like his kids. It's love at first sight and I don't really see it. The show does lack Alice's friends or professional life. She should have at least an assistant although I guess Mary is her friend. I like the characters and therefore I like the show.
