It's not all laughs, and it's not all tears. Amazingly, this series is more real than most TV shows. The main characters don't play games with each other. They both have quirky lines that exhibit their anxiety and vulnerabilities in a life's situation of unplanned pregnancy and career change. Yet, they actually tell each other their feelings and fears. They often voice their unhappiness in a situation and call each other names--and still stay together and even marry. How adult is that? I'm talking about being a REAL adult, not the way many TV shows and movies portray adults as totally selfish and egocentric . The ensemble shows a group of people who are flawed yet still trying to live their lives as best they can. The humor is found in their flaws, but we treasure their humanity. I started watching this hoping it wasn't another TV show where the guy was clueless and the woman was the smart one. Happily, this is a TV show where no one is stupid, just real characters trying to make it through life without committing too much mayhem. This is a REALly good show.
