About this show

They say the third time's the charm, and reformed party girl Kate (Malin Akerman) is hoping that's true when she becomes the third wife of a slightly older man, Pete (Bradley Whitford). They fell into each others' arms (literally) at a karaoke bar, and flash forward a year later, Kate finds herself with an instafamily complete with three stepchildren and two ex-wives. But Kate is determined to make this work and become a part of the family no matter what.

Sad to see that ABC didn't give it time for the audience to find it. They didn't market it at all and then axed it because people were slow to respond. Once I found it, I fell in love with it. It just needed ABC to believe in it more. They should have taken a page from FOX (I know I can't believe I said that either) and not cancelled any shows this year, giving them time to work.

My sister and I were obsessed with this show. It's so freaking funny and the entire cast is amazing. They all went on to bigger things but I still miss this show sometimes. I was extremely bummed when I heard it had been cancelled. ABC doesn't keep offbeat comedies for more than a season or 2 so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. This show would've thrived somewhere like Netflix

This was easily the best new show of fall '13, and one of the best comedies on TV. Entire cast is great. Was good to see Brad Whitford on television again. Hopefully this will be launched on blu-ray at some point. Google Play download will have to do for now.
