Was this written from experience? Because it is so believable! Very clever comedy on so many levels . The acting I feel is really out there and amazing with a" Hotch Potch" of characters that each bring their own individual magic to the story line yet glue it together at the same time. I am really enjoying this refreshing series and I hope they bring out a season 4. I think Rob would be a great hubby!
