Summary: Each show has at least a possibility, albeit remote, for success. In fact Kate even says – I don’t want to be a Mom for my Mom. I also believe that Jenna Elfman’s Joyce is trying a bit too hard to be like her daughter rather than a Mom to the daughter. Rather, I think you might consider this more toward being a heartwarming and enjoyable show suitable for family viewing.Ĭons: They do stretch the envelope a bit with what Mel Fisher can do despite his blindness. They aren’t going for one-liners, nor do they seek to make this a sit-com with overtly funny situations.

The Good Vibes: Not anywhere close to being a laugh riot, but all four of the main cast are quite likeable, plus there’s that wonderful guide dog named Elvis, and Jason Bateman’s voice over narration which all make this a show that you should take a look at. You’re a Fisher, so there’s nothing you can’t do.

It is almost as if he was in denial about being blind.Īs he tells the struggling to learn how to park daughter – I’m blind and I went to law school. Simmons/Fisher does a lot of things which while may not be intrinsically funny like he tosses a football with Henry, gives the daughter parking lessons, cuts down trees, and rides a bike. Kate, the mid-late teens daughter, is played by Ava DeLuca-Verley. But aside from that they seem like a standard two kid family. We also learn, and can see that Mel and Joyce have a sizeable age difference between them, and that Jenna became pregnant after the events on their second date. Simmons as Mel Fisher, and Jenna Elfman as Joyce Fisher – we learn rather quickly that they’re in the process of getting a divorce. We’ve seen this kind of device before, most famously by Daniel Stern as the adult Kevin Arnold in The Wonder Years which ran for six seasons back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Which makes the show into a form of a memoir. The show is narrated by Jason Bateman, who is of course an adult. Fisher is about a family with a husband who is a blind lawyer, there’s a kooky mom, and two kids. The second new show, which immediately follows About a Boy, is called Growing Up Fisher. So we hope there’s character growth each week. Second, if Will is going to be hot after a new and different woman each week, that might get a bit stale. Yet, there’s a good man inside of him somewhere.Ĭons: Minnie Diver is excellent as Fiona – the ‘crazy vegan woman’ who lives next door, but at least, in the pilot, she comes off as more than a bit strident. Good Vibes: Will is a rascal to be sure, and Walton plays him as some one who will likely make you roll your eyes. For a bit more depth – check out the first look trailer.

The way they meet is not the ideal way to meet, but this is how the series begins. A single mom, Fiona, played by Minnie Diver, and her son Marcus played by Benjamin Stockham. Outside, are the new neighbors who are just moving in. He chases after her clad in a cardigan, his underpants and socks to get her phone number. Leslie is quite impressed, and moments later they’re back in his bedroom and she’s on top of him.Ī phone call from her daughters interrupts, and she rushes out. There he lies even more stating to the group that he has a son, Jonah, who has survived leukemia. He lies and tells her he is a single father so he can follow her into a single parent talk circle. To set the show in motion, he leaps off a cable car in order to chat up a beautiful blonde, a cellist, played by Leslie Bibb. In this series he’s based in San Francisco and owns a home as he once wrote a popular Christmas song, and in his words – made a ton of money. He loves a good time, but at the first sign of a relationship moving from fun to semi-serious – he moves on. So this show might be related to Two and a Half Men – as in a distant cousin, and only as a much kinder and gentler version. He is irresponsible, kind of a layabout, and has considerable interest in members of the opposite sex. He’s in his late 20’s, or maybe just over the border into a neighborhood called The Early Thirties. In short, it is about a young man – played by David Walton called Will. The first one is called About a Boy, and is based on the 2002 Hugh Grant film of the same title which was based on a Nick Hor nsby best-selling novel. After all, NBC gave Ironside, only three episodes this past fall before axing the show. Of course NBC with their obsession with ratings, may not give these shows enough time to succeed. Given the strong lead-in of The Voice, these family shows were slotted perfectly. NBC launched two shows in the 9:00 PM and 9:30 PM slots Tuesday night.
