From Glee creator Ryan Murphy comes this comedy about unconventional families. Bryan, (Andrew Rannells), and David, (Justin Bartha), decide to start a family, and in the search for a surrogate, pair up with single mother Goldie, (Georgia King), who has recently split from a cheating boyfriend. But Goldie's grandmother, (Ellen Barkin), isn't exactly accepting of this situation, and proves to be a thorn in the side of them all…
Tried them and gave up
This is going to be my biggest list by far, so I wanted to have a nice succinct title, but it's a lie. These shows range from only mildly annoying to actually pretty good. Some of these have a solid cast, interesting/fun premise, and decent writing, but they just couldn't pull it all together and establish a fan base.
Best in this List: 666 Park Avenue, Dads, Enlisted, The Lottery, and The Returned
Worst in this List: Lucky 7
Shout-Outs: Alcatraz for best use of a Lost alum and getting that premise cleared by a major network
My girl Maggie Lawson for Angel from Hell, Back in the Game, and a slew of other bad choices
Crowded for bringing Miranda Cosgrove back into my life just to take her away again
Dads for being wayyyyy better than it had any right being, and for London Tipton as a receptionist
Geoff Stults and David Walton for trying real hard
Feed the Beast and Go On for giving a home to Ross and Chandler
Grandfathered for being that extended Full House/Drake and Josh crossover that nobody wanted or deserved
The Great Indoors for daring me to not love a Community alum
The Lottery for being a Lifetime original that had a plot
Malibu Country for Reba and not much else
The Mist for having a nonsensical, contradictory, senseless and downright offensive plot and characters making it far more entertaining than it should have been
Ringer for starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Sarah Michelle Gellar
Selfie for the most grating show to hide an actually pretty decent Chandelier cover
The Whispers for having a presidency that could accept an alien plot with fewer reservations than I, the viewer, had
TV series I've seen
