Go To

A Short-Lived American Sitcom that has a divorced couple (Jay Mohr and Paula Marshall) trying to raise their kids while entering into new relationships.

The show also features Ryan Malgarini, Kathryn Newton, Al Madrigal, Keegan-Michael Key, Brooke D'Orsay, Ed Begley Jr., and Jaime King.

It aired on CBS for two seasons.


Tropes for the series:

  • As Himself: Joe Torre makes an appearance at the station Gary works at and gets attacked twice by his brother, Mitch, in Gary Tries to Find Something for Mitch.
  • Character Title: Almost every episode of the series except for the first episode.
  • Divorce Assets Conflict: Gary does this with a pool table he "gave" his ex-wife ("It was one of those joke gifts that I say is for you but is really for me!"). The terms of their divorce says that all gifts stay with the recipient, so the pool table is hers. But he has an ace up his sleeve: a lewd photo album she gave him as an early Valentine's Day gift one year.
  • Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Every episode title begins with "Gary" or "Gary's" followed by a description of a person or action.
  • One-Word Title: Pilot.
