Editorial Reviews

A San Francisco newspaper film critic becomes pregnant after a hookup with a much younger man and together they raise a nontraditional family. Golden Globe Award winner, Jenna Elfman plays Billie, who after a hard breakup with her boss, James, played by Private Practice's Grant Show, then gets knocked up by Zack, Windfall's Jon Foster. They make a nontraditional arrangement to live together platonically and raise the child. But when Zack friends turn her place into a frat house, Billie isn't sure that the plan can work out.

A bright fresh young comedy and really nice to see Jon Foster making it opposite Ms Elfman, who's always so good. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cancelled and replaced with $#*!... literally, December 15, 2010

This review is from: Accidentally on Purpose: The First Season (DVD)

This is a charming, funny little show that couldn't hold enough of its lead or something like that. The ratings weren't terrible, and I was looking forward to a second season. Instead, they decided to go with a TV adaptation of a twitter account on CBS this year.

I'll probably pick this up at some point. I've already seen all of them, but it will be fun to watch again in a year or so when I've forgotten most of the jokes and scenarios.

Don't be hesitant about picking this up thinking that it just cuts out randomly. The finale offers enough closure that season 1 is a satisfying complete story on its own.

Jenna Elfman & Jon Foster is really GREAT in the show and another star is born with the co-stars. The whole cast is funny and it's such a smart show. When this does come out I'm picking it up! It's one of my favs of all time. It's that GREAT & funny! Check it out on CBS! You will laugh your funny-bone off!
