Overview
- The multi-cam comedy starring real-life couple Téa Leoni and Tim Daly premieres on NBC on Friday, Oct. 23 at 8:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. CT.
- Showrunners changed after six completed episodes when co-creator Gail Lerner left over creative differences and Bruce Helford was hired to rework tone and scripts.
- Three early episodes were screened for critics and drew mixed reviews that praised cast chemistry while faulting uneven tone and character work.
- Jamie Lee Curtis co-created the show and appears as Claudia, James’s ex-wife, while a supporting cast includes Emma Meisel, Ignacio Diaz-Silverio and Bill O’Neill.
- NBC has kept the premiere on schedule and expects Helford to oversee remaining production, a move that signals the network’s push to revive traditional multi-cam sitcoms.
