Trophy Wife

I feel like the rating for this show is a bit low... i mean yes it was brilliant or wonderful on a monumental level...but it was warm and simple... it had all the clichés yes....but they kinda owned it... not too bad...watchable...

How is it I'd never heard of this show before?! I think it's very funny! The characters are like able, the writing is great. I'm so disappointed it only lasted one season.

I have to admit that I'm a comedy snob. It takes a lot for me to laugh out loud, but I found myself doing so when watching this, yes, I'm going to say it... delightful comedy. The older man marrying a younger partner scenario isn't new, obviously, but a letter perfect ensemble cast, witty and smart dialogue and endearing characters give this show a real boost. The children and, really all of the characters in this show are portrayed as three dimensional for a change, especially Albert Tsai as Bert. I would have loved to have seen more of these people, but this one exceptional season will have to suffice.

I don't know what to make of this show. It was created by two women, yet it takes a surprisingly positive view of a guy who keeps trading his wives in for younger models. And while one of the creators is quoted on wikipedia as describing herself as a "feminist," the female characters strike me as anti-female - the young, clueless one, the spacey idiot, and the smart but shark-like one. Is it funny? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But this is essentially a conventional, middling sitcom with an uncomfortable premise, and after I few episodes I gave up on it.

I never heard of this show before but I loved it. Very well cast. Well written. Just fun. The fact it was cancelled after just one season is more proof that tv is political. So much crap stays on for years, while the good stuff gets cancelled. Makes you wonder who did what to keep their job. And who had integrity and walked away.

I enjoyed this show. I am sad that it got cancelled. I think it had a good concept. A trophy wife who turns out isn't a gold-digger. This show had a really funny cast and honestly, I was very disappointed that it got cancelled. This show is about a thirty-something year old woman who marries an older man. He has already had two wives and three children. So with all of them together, a lot of stuff goes down. The kids are hilarious and so is the "trophy wife". Overall, I give this TV show a 7 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Great.

As the title of my review said: crushed that the show has been cancelled. I was soooo looking forward to see how the events/story would developed. Darn you people who cancelled the show for whatever reasons. The actors and the action was so good!!!

Kate (Malin Akerman) is a former party girl who has married Pete Harrison (Bradley Whitford). He has two kids (Bailee Madison, Ryan Lee) with his hard nosed surgeon first wife Diane (Marcia Gay Harden). He has an adopted son Bert (Albert Tsai) with flaky second wife Jackie (Michaela Watkins). And Kate's party friend Meg (Natalie Morales) keeps dropping by. It's a really busy modern family that has misadventures together. She grows to be a better person and they grow to be a closer family. Blah. Blah. Blah. Malin Akerman is a hot woman with some comedic skills. She's better than most and is able to maintain likability throughout. Everybody is doing a good job, and it's a functional family sitcom. I wouldn't call it anything outstanding. It got canceled after its first year run of 22 episodes.
