Us And Them: Discussion Thread

US & THEM

Based on the hugely popular and multiple-award-winning BBC 3 series “Gavin and Stacey” and starring Emmy Award nominee Jason Ritter and Alexis Bledel, US & THEM is an ensemble single-camera comedy about a young couple, whose path to happily-ever-after is complicated by the screwed-up circus of people closest to them.

US & THEM (wt) is produced by Sony Pictures Television and BBC Worldwide Productions. It is based on the hugely popular and multiple-award-winning BBC 3 series “Gavin and Stacey,” which was created and written by James Corden and Ruth Jones. US & THEM (wt) is adapted and written by David J. Rosen (“I Just Want My Pants Back”), and executive-produced by Rosen, Jane Tranter, Julie Gardner, Corden and Jones. Steve Coogan and Henry Normal serve as executive producers for Baby Cow Productions. Michael Patrick Jann (“Drop Dead Gorgeous”) directed the pilot.

A RomCom with Ritter and Bledel? Sold!  I really liked the preview and most of the cast is pretty good.

Wow, it must have been really, REALLY bad for a network to cancel it before it even started.

My theory is that subsequent, completed episodes did not live up to the potential they saw in the pilot...but it probably has more to do with actor issues.

And dads and The Mindy Project are still on the air?

The Mindy Project should have never been renewed.
