Summary:
Network: ABC
Release: Fall 2006
This comedy is adapted from the best selling book of the same name. It is about a couple who have a difficult time transitioning to from dating to marriage.

Cast and Crew:
Christine Taylor has been signed on as the lead female lead. She is Ben Stiller's real life wife. And played "Sally Sitwell" on a few episodes of "Arrested Development" in 2005. She might be best known for her last feature film "Dodgeball".

Alex Taub and Peter Traugott put this pilot together and will be EP's. Taub did "Kevin Hill" on UPN and Traugott did ABC's recently cancelled "Jake in Progress".

Our Take:
We LOVE Christine Taylor, and don't imagine she would take on a role unless it had promise, but we don't believe these writers have what it takes to put together a winner here. The fate of this show depends on who is cast as the male lead. If it is a nobody, leaving Taylor to anchor the show, it will fail. If they can pull in a big name at the last minute, then we might have ourselves a show.
