Administrator Toups Posted May 11, 2011 Author Administrator Share Posted May 11, 2011 I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER (working title) I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER (working title) is a new multi-camera comedy about two best friends who are single moms struggling to raise their difficult and over-privileged teenage daughters. ANNIE (Emmy Award winner Jaime Pressly, “My Name Is Earl”) and NIKKI (Tony Award winner Katie Finneran, “Wonderfalls”) are former high school outcasts whose pasts inform their current parenting styles. Annie, who was raised in an ultra-strict, über-religious household where she had little-to-no freedom, pretty much allows her daughter, SOPHIE (Kristi Lauren, “You”), to do whatever she wants. Nikki, once an unpopular, overweight social pariah, has reinvented herself as a pretty Southern belle whose top priority is providing her daughter, MACKENZIE (Aisha Dee, “Dead Gorgeous”), with the childhood she never had. Sophie and Mackenzie are also best friends, which leads to a lot of co-parenting for Annie and Nikki. They have given the girls everything they asked for and everything they never had: clothes, money and self-esteem. The unintended consequence is they have created two mean girls just like the ones who tortured them years ago. Sophie finds her mother embarrassing and mocks her at every opportunity, but she secretly needs her mom and knows that her behavior is not always appropriate. Mackenzie, on the other hand, is the more manipulative of the daughters – she knows how to work her mother’s insecurities to her benefit. Annie’s ex-husband, MATT (Eric Sheffer Stevens, “As The World Turns”), wants to be a good parent, but is too clueless to know what that even means. That leaves his brother, JACK (Kevin Rahm, “Desperate Housewives,” “Judging Amy”), an attractive, high-powered attorney, to serve as more of a father figure for Sophie. Jack’s meddling would annoy Annie more if she didn’t have such a crush on him. GARY (Chad Coleman, “The Wire”), Nikki’s ex, also tries to help raise his challenging daughter, but the couple’s complicated relationship often makes his involvement more difficult. As their daughters begin to experience their first high school dances and other life-changing teen events, Annie and Nikki are often reminded of their own tortured adolescent years. But when Sophie and Mackenzie’s mean-girl antics cross the line, the moms quickly realize that they must, for the first time, dole out some real punishment and fix what is broken. They have no idea how to do that, but they do know one thing: They can’t do it without each other. PRODUCTION COMPANIES: Warner Bros. Television, Bonanza Productions Inc.

Members wingwalker Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 I just saw the clips for this show. Potentially could be funny, but this looks like a sitcom that should be on CBS, not FOX. Last time FOX had a good multi-cam sitcom, Back To You, they canceled it for no apparent reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted December 2, 2011 Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 The show got a 4.1 rating....almost 7 million viewers and a 2.8 18-49 category. It retained 70% of the XFactors 18-49 category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted December 2, 2011 Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 That's not bad for Fox, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 2, 2011 Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 The 4.1 isn't great but the 2.8 women 18-49 category is good so that might give them a chance. I thought the Eric Sheffer Stevens should have been the brother in law and the actor who appears on DH should have been the ex husband. They had more to play off of with ESS being wanted by the exwife. I dont like the whole he is a rock star stuff. I think the mothers are more annoying than the daughters.

Members Soapsuds Posted March 16, 2012 Members Share Posted March 16, 2012 I was afraid to open this. At least it was fun while it lasted. It was great seeing Eric again on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadAddiction Posted March 16, 2012 Members Share Posted March 16, 2012 Call me practical, my line of think is at least he's been paid even if all the episodes don't air. Now, ESS, go on out there and let Silent House be your stepping stone to more lucrative projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
