About The Show
Family is enough to drive anyone a little crazy. Children keep secrets from
their parents so they won't upset them, dads leave for other women and moms try
to run over dads with the car. Actually, that was the point when the Crumb
family knew Mom was crazy.
Estranged brothers Mitch and Jack Crumb reunite in their small hometown to deal
with their mother Suzanne, who is being released from a psychiatric country club
and has yet to discover that her ex-husband is about to have a baby with his new
girlfriend. They have issues… major issues. Central to everything is the dynamic
between these two brothers; Mitch is the prodigal son who is returning home
after a failed Hollywood career, and Jack is the older brother who has stayed in
the confines of their small New England town to run the family business.
Together for the first time as adults, this family will have to stick by one
another despite their combustible relationships.
The creator of Caroline in the City mines his own WASP family for comic
gold that's smart, funny and surprising. Starring Fred Savage (The Wonder
Years) and Jane Curtin (two-time Emmy Award winner for Kate & Allie, SNL,
3rd Rock from the Sun) and from the producers of Smallville and
One Tree Hill comes an offbeat comedy everyone can relate to.
