    This is less the stuff of a sitcom than an episode of MTV's True Life: Our Mothers Are Neurotic.

    Having come up with an intriguing premise, co-creators Sherry Bilsing-Graham ("The New Adventures of Old Christine," "Friends") and Ellen Kreamer ("The New Adventures of Old Christine,") are either too timid or too hamstrung by network expectations to execute it.

    The hardball banter over coolness quotient is coupled with some pretty amusing generation-gap comedy.

    The only fun comes from Pressly and Finneran, who are so likeable they almost overcome the overwrought action.

    This feels more like a rushed afterthought by Fox instead of a fully developed premise that could carry a pair of seasoned actors to their retirement, or at least to a big payday.

    The show is passable when its writers remember it is an ensemble piece.

    The bedeviled moms can be bawdy fun on occasion in this broad Fox sitcom. But their unctuous, obnoxious 14-year-olds basically ruin every scene they're in.

    Jamie Presley tries hard to bring this show to life, but the other woman's character is annoying and the writing is terrible, so ultimately she fails.

Other than that this show has me laughing till the last scene, and I love Jaime Pressley's acting in this. Plus the two daughters really show good acting skills in their acting.… Full Review »
