Tre mogli per un papà

I watched this show during the season that it aired, and I just rewatched it. I still don't understand how it got cancelled. Grey's Anatomy and The Bachelor are like cockroaches that somehow continue to exist when they should have ended years ago.... but this got cancelled??

I'm so sad this show is cancelled, I usually agree for the most part with ABC cancelled series, but there have been a few that have made me sad and this is definitely be at the top of the list. Trophy Wife was a funny breath of fresh air. Loved the plot and characters, really sad to see this one go. The actors really played their parts and were believable. From the parents to the kids, the cast really blended well together. I actually liked it better than the Goldbergs. It now joins 'That 'B' in Apartment 23 and Betrayal, two of my other favorites that have gotten the axe. I mean geez ABC give these shows a chance to do well before being so quick to cancel. You will be terribly missed.

Trophy Wife is one of the pleasant surprises of the 2013 fall season. In the first few episodes Malin Akerman in the main role is not all that sympathetic or, to be honest, even all that funny, but after several weeks she really grows on you. On the other hand, her two rivals, Marcia Gay Harden and Michaela Watkins as Bradley Whitford's previous wives Diane and Jackie, are immediately very funny. How many shows have been based on the model of husband as doofus and wife as long-suffering problem-solver? This show is nothing like that: it's written by women and at its core deals with the rivalry among three women, each of whom is less than perfect, and it is often hilarious. At this point in December of its first season, the breakout characters appear to be gormless New Age Jackie, her Asian adopted son Bert(Albert Tsai), and Diane's goofy teenage son Warren (Ryan Lee). My recent taste in sitcoms is in the vein of Parks & Rec (my current favourite), Louie, Community, 30 Rock, so I'm not usually a family sitcom type but this one works for me.

I have to admit that I'm a comedy snob. It takes a lot for me to laugh out loud, but I found myself doing so when watching this, yes, I'm going to say it... delightful comedy. The older man marrying a younger partner scenario isn't new, obviously, but a letter perfect ensemble cast, witty and smart dialogue and endearing characters give this show a real boost. The children and, really all of the characters in this show are portrayed as three dimensional for a change, especially Albert Tsai as Bert. I would have loved to have seen more of these people, but this one exceptional season will have to suffice.

As the title of my review said: crushed that the show has been cancelled. I was soooo looking forward to see how the events/story would developed. Darn you people who cancelled the show for whatever reasons. The actors and the action was so good!!!
