Executive produced by Steven Spielberg and created by Diablo Cody, the series delves into how a family copes with the various personalities that may appear on any given day, including "T," a provocative teenager, "Buck," a gun-toting Vietnam vet and "Alice," a Betty Crocker homemaker -- and potentially others along the way.

My family loves this show, & we think the actress who plays Tara is great. Half of our family & friends are bi-polar & at times it can seem like heyre different people. I really like how this show tastefully portrays the "split personality" disorder & shows through the struggles the family has theyre still close & happy. I personally like how they make the most of the great moments they have. Even though this isnt a show for kids we let our teenagers watch it & theyve said they can relate to this show. Thx

As usual when a good series comes to light, it's not far from being canceled. But, when a bad one comes around it gets to last forever. Murphy's Law really bites sometimes...

I'm still getting over the sadness of the cancellation. This show was funny, brilliant, well-written, and the actors were very good. Especially Toni Colette, of course! I really wish they could/would bring it back...
