in the motherhood.

so seems that in the motherhood the new show, is based on in the motherhood a webseries 'conceived' by suave and sprint (read: paid for by). the webseries saw stars such as leah remini, the very funny chelsea handler, and jenny mccarthy with guest appearances by lainie kazan and jane curtin. the show has been reformatted and recast with cheryl hines and megan mullally in the leads, and horatio sanz as one mother's manny. (the fact that the show's new title and primary cast hasn't been updated on imdb is a little disconcerting. abc needs to get it together if they're plugging it already.)

watching the webispodes makes me think the concept definitely has an audience. though i wonder if it is the same audience the shows that will follow it enjoy (samantha who? and grey's anatomy). we'll see. with lots of changes and a slot in primetime, i can't say what the show will play out like- but if you want some idea, all webisodes are available on youtube.

They should have left the show as a webisode and with the original cast. It was much funnier than the show on abc, the most disappointing part is they re-casted, I don't have anything against the current cast, but the cast with Chelsea, jenny, Leah had a better dynamic and were very very funny. well I am disappointed. . .
