Odd Mom Out

Clever, quirky, mischievous writing. Kargman is a genius.

But I skipped forward to all her scenes with Andy Buckley. I loved that portrayal of a marriage - the humor and the rapport.

Buckley is totally adorable and should be a much bigger star. He should be getting James Garner type roles.

Add this to the growing list of female-driven comedies that turn the male-oriented world upside-down! Jill Kargman has made it possible to relate to a society that is far beyond my own reach (I make less than $10,000 a year so I have zero exposure to the life she exposes on the show). She pokes fun at the privileged (and usually spoiled) without mercy even though she herself is somewhat part of that circle. The writing is witty and incredibly funny. I'm shocked that this is her only acting credit as it's obvious that she knows acting like she's done it her whole life. I'm really interested to know whether or not she's been in Broadway productions or something because she's obviously honed her skill SOMEWHERE.

My favorite scene so far is where she helps a "friend" with a delivery. I was stunned at how raw and funny the whole scene was. I couldn't catch my breath because I was laughing so hard! And I actually learned something about giving birth I never would have imagined! LOL Aside from the brilliant Jill Kargman there is a stellar cast of well-known and not so well-known actors and actresses, who have also get to have their own funny moments in the series. Well done, Jill!

I sort of understand why this show will not appeal to many. It's funny and satirical and although it has all the prerequisites of being, it is not your everyday all American humor. Although the plot is nothing new I think that in a way it is really smart, since it's rich vs. flirty rich, so in its core there is something utterly funny and a source of constant ridicule.

The main character is at first sight annoying, but as we can see half way through the first season we can see that she is more complex then we think, so she seems 'more real' than the rest, but I find that quite interesting and appealing.

Some of the other characters are beyond limits caricatured, so that adds to the comedy element of the show, without leaving you wondering 'why is this happening?.

All in all I really think that everyone who is looking for a pinch of fresh comedy and wants to watch something new, should definitely give this show a go without taking into consideration its (unfair) ratings or the simplicity of the plot.

I can't praise this show enough!! Totally devastated it isn't on anymore but at least we got 3 exceptional seasons. The whole cast should have won several awards. Candace Von-Weber is my spirit animal!

Well, that's a nice surprise. I only saw the pilot but this seems like a good comedy. Lots of pluses not any actual minus.

First of all, I prefer comedies that lack the awful fake laugh track (just wrote a review for another new comedy that has it). Odd Mom Out hasn't got one so that's something I endorse.

It's about the lives of some ultra-wealthy wives and moms, who live in Upper East Side New York. What they have in money they lack in other areas, so the series presents them more like caricatures. You know lacquered socialites, that only know about fashion and nose-jobs and charities. Women who think that are better because of their ...husbands wealth. It sets up nicely so far with the introduction of another female character who is actually an ER doctor, to give some contrast.

The humor seems good. Witty and refreshing and satirical. And I'm starting to give credit to the direction too.

Jill Kargman plays a version of herself as I'm reading. She is OK to her role, so far.

Overall: Seems good. I'll keep watching.
