    As the title of my review said: crushed that the show has been cancelled. I was soooo looking forward to see how the events/story would developed. Darn you people who cancelled the show for whatever reasons. The actors and the action was so good!!!

    I saw the trailer for this and it peeked my interest and now after watching it, it wasn't a bad show.It has a pretty big main cast, all of them awesome, especially Malin Akerman, Bradley Whitford and Marcia Gay Harden, but there were some points where it felt like there were too many chefs in the kitchen (5 adults and 3 kids). I didn't really like the character of Meg Gomez (Natalie Morales), who played the best friend of the lead character, Kate Harrison (Akerman) and just felt she was unnecessary and just a filler.There weren't any laugh out loud moments for me but it was funny and entertaining, including cameos from Megan Mullally, Ken Marino and Florence Henderson.It was entertaining enough to watch but not something I would watch again and not something that I'm upset about being cancelled.

    We look forward to the show all week and the reviewer who panned it is nuts! Every bit as funny as Modern family and the Christmas show this week was one of the best TV episodes in a long time!The current wife is a cutie and the two exes are truly polar opposites! Second wife was lucky to get one of the best parts on TV. Marcia is perfect as tight as* first wife.Best friend is also funny but the trip from The West Wing to trophy Wife was a pleasant surprise for us!I hope this show doesn't go the way of Better Off Ted another great show that bit the big one.I think you need to run the episode a couple of times a week for folks to find the show.

    Trophy Wife is one of the pleasant surprises of the 2013 fall season. In the first few episodes Malin Akerman in the main role is not all that sympathetic or, to be honest, even all that funny, but after several weeks she really grows on you. On the other hand, her two rivals, Marcia Gay Harden and Michaela Watkins as Bradley Whitford's previous wives Diane and Jackie, are immediately very funny. How many shows have been based on the model of husband as doofus and wife as long-suffering problem-solver? This show is nothing like that: it's written by women and at its core deals with the rivalry among three women, each of whom is less than perfect, and it is often hilarious. At this point in December of its first season, the breakout characters appear to be gormless New Age Jackie, her Asian adopted son Bert(Albert Tsai), and Diane's goofy teenage son Warren (Ryan Lee). My recent taste in sitcoms is in the vein of Parks & Rec (my current favourite), Louie, Community, 30 Rock, so I'm not usually a family sitcom type but this one works for me.
