Review
Trying to capitalize on its 'Modern Family' success ABC has crapped out yet another 'blended family' sitcom. Sadly this show suffers from the same mediocrity of all its contenders. In the title role Malin Ackerman is cast as the sexy sweet and awkwardly funny third wife. Problem is she brings none of that to the part. Rapidly approaching 40 she can't pull off kittenish party girl anymore is written as more naive than sweet and doesn't have the chops to pull off the physical comedy needed to make this show stand out (Ackerman is also a producer on the show so maybe no one is able to actually tell her). In fact it almost seems like wife number two Michaela Watkins' character is written so ridiculously to help make Ackerman seem more charming by comparison. She doesn't.
Bradley Whitford and Marcia Gay Harden performances' are good if not predictable and the kids are...well..kids. Again not sure what is suppose to be unique about this show. The writing is average the production is stock and the premise which I suppose is basically summed up in the title is hobbled by Ackerman.
