Pilot

The other day I went looking for new TV shows to watch as most of the shows I used to watch Queer As Folk ALIAS etc. have all since finished. I watched the pilot to two new shows Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse" and this. The obvious winner was this show it was tender at times, but at the same time it was kinda funny.

Also I find that the humor is not like south park, in your face 'HAHA its funny cause this person has a mental disorder' kind of funny. The comedy was very well done I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The concept is original, we have seen people with multiple personalities before but they are usual psychopaths and are always single, but what about raising a family as one. This creates a good basis for a series to be either a serious drama or maybe something a little more light hearted. I believe that there is a good mix of the two.

As for the other personalities or "the alters" as they are called, hands down, I think my favorite would have to be Buck, the redneck. just to see Toni Colette act like a red neck getting into fights and encouraging her son to get into it by screaming 'f%&k him up'.

I think this show has great potential and I am very interested to see where it goes

Created by Diablo Cody who won an Oscar for her screenplay for Juno.

This pilot episode is an acting showcase for Toni Collette who plays Tara.

She is married to Max (John Corbett) and has two kids. Older daughter Kate (Brie Larson) and son Marshall (Keir Gilchrist.)

So far the setup is very much a suburban family sitcom. This one has a twist.

Tara has a multiple personality disorder. She has had it for the 17 years she has been married to Max. Everyone is very much used to it.

In the first episode Tara becomes T who is a promiscuous wild child teenager. Later she becomes Buck, a redneck male.

It starts off as an edgy adult sitcom. The episode finds it feet literally when Buck takes on Kate's no good boyfriend and Marshall joins in with the kicking.
