    Husband-and-wife team Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa pack the half-hour with oddball characters, zany circumstances and loads of physical comedy, but it's all grounded in enough reality to be utterly believable and irrepressibly funny.

    “Big Day” is marvelously cast, and the actors, especially Wendie Malick, manage, like the cast of “24,” to convey a sense of urgency that almost belongs on the stage.

    Normally, this should be as much fun as pulling out your own fingernails, but the cast for the most part makes it tolerable and fun.

    Awesome! Hilarius. Hope they air the final episode or release it on DVD. Another season would be great too.
