    Alex Meyers (Amanda Peet) is a divorced lawyer with daughter Charlie (Joey King). She's looking to renovate her kitchen. She hires Pete Riggins (David Walton) and his haphazard crew; Clem (J.B. Smoove), Vlad (Pasha D. Lychnikoff), and rookie Gary (Jesse Plemons). In her life, Alex has boyfriend Ben (Matt Letscher), sister Screwsie (Margo Harshman), and father Walt Riggins (Jeffrey Tambor).This is the traditional sitcom of a smart hot gal who's looking for love. All the standard characters are here. They are played by good likable actors. But the writing is just not up to snuff. There aren't enough jokes. There are only 6 episodes. It never found it's voice. Maybe the concept was professionally written up by veterans but they definitely needed better writers to tighten up the scripts.

    It is unacceptable to stop this show so unexpectedly while we as viewers are waiting with are breaths taken away the continuance of the story.You shouldn't take away the art spirit and the statements that this maker was trying to give to his audience, because of some bad reviews and RATINGS!!!!!!.You are committed till the end and you should be ashamed of the lack of responsibility and your materialistic perspective!!!!!!! As a Greek Citizen I am obligated to tell you that because of this refusal of real art we are today a nation with financial problems, because we lost our identity and now only Turkish shows are airing. You are also on the verge of losing the cultural identity. Be careful danger danger danger!!!!!!'Weather 'cause Short' 'Short gospel alleluia' 'Men without religion, fish without bike' 'Men unlettered, wood unsculptured'

    This has crisp writing, excellent performances; in short it's thoroughly enjoyable and I'm so glad I managed to catch it before it disappeared. I should have realized that anything NBC tried to bury in their schedule with absolutely no promotion would be vastly superior to any of their other freshmen comedies that made it onto the main schedule (Free Agents, Whitney - are you kidding, and while I love Christina Applegate let's not kid ourselves that Up All Night is a worthy successor to Samatha Who ). Shame on NBC for not promoting this and if you had a clue ( but we know you don't ) you'd slot this in after the Voice or at least *mention* it when people are actually watching your network.

    This show is definitely looking very promising with actors like Amanda Peet(whom i totally loved in "A lot like love" & "Somethings gotta give"), Jeffrey Tambor(Arrested development), David Walton and Jesse Plemons(a big fan of "Friday night lights"). I loved the Pilot and the episode that followed and hope that it keeps getting better. The script is well written and the actors are up to the job. There are few lovely kind of romantic and comic moments which makes this show special. Can only wish for this show to be widely appreciated and watched cuz it deserves it. Would love to see more than 6 episodes which is not enough to develop the storyline.
