Better with You

Mia (JoAnna Garcia) and Maddie (Jennifer Finnigan) are sisters. Joel (Kurt Fuller) and Vicky Putney (Debra Jo Rupp) are their loving parents. Mia is dating Casey (Jake Lacy) in a passionate relationship. Maddie is dating Ben (Josh Cooke) in a steady, slow-burning relationship.

The three relationships form different variations on the same theme. They all love each other. The relationships are the key to this show. It's a hit and miss show. Not all the situations in this sitcom is necessarily that funny. It does work enough for a full season but not good enough to renew.

I loved this show, it was a very interesting and new idea to the sitcom gender, i was so upset when i learned they canceled it, shame... i mean good actors, the set was very well thought and designed and the idea of the whole shoe was exciting, if this show had just one more season it could have been a serious contender to HIMYM! Maybe network and producers should give it a shot, i'm sure if they bring it back now, they won't be disappointed with the reviews, now house is gone, HIMYM is gone, scrubs are done, no real competition at all and it could start to grow on people, i loved this show, it was heartwarming and i could really feel connected with the youngest couple and also could use the advices from the elder one!

'Better with You' is a very clever comedy with a unique format and incredibly imaginative story lines. Each episode contains fast paced scenes with jokes that feel fresh and original. Since the majority of story lines center completely on 6 well-developed characters (3 couples: one sister and her fiancé, another sister and her LONG-term boyfriend, and the sisters' parents), the show has become funnier and funnier with each episode. If you're new to this show, start from the beginning, and you will quickly fall in love with each character's personality, as well as each quirky storyline. One of the things I most look forward to during each episode are the quick opening and ending tags, which feature "parallels" between the three couples.. these scenes are especially well thought-out and hilariously executed!!

first to fifth episode is funny.

Beautiful women, mediocre acting, still funny.

But when you don't give much room to grow around with, it gets old quick. The writers should know that guest star option is available, and Reba makes a decent appearance in the show, but other than that it is not looking good. Needs to spice things up quick. And I don't see much in common with the couples. No chemistry at all between the couples, though as a group there is some sparkle. But this is quite a development. I really want to see this one better than JOEY. We have been there anyway.

Kurt Fuller and Debra Jo Rupp played middle aged parents to Mia and Maddie in New York City. First, I would have changed the location somewhere else. New York City has been done to death. Anyway, the sitcom focuses on the elder couple and their two daughters. Maddie is a lawyer who lives with her male partner in a fabulous apartment in the city. Mia is her younger sister who finds love, happiness, and baby on the way with her boyfriend fiancé of seven weeks. Of course, there are moments where they show the differences between a new couple, the long-term couple, and the veteran couple whether in the taxi or in bed or on the couch. I love Debra Jo Rupp who can prove that she's just as good if not better than her previous sitcom fame as the loving seventies mom.
