These days, families come in all forms - single dads, double moms, sperm donors, egg donors, one-night-stand donors... It's 2012 and anything goes. Bryan (Andrew Rannells, "Girls," "The Book of Mormon") and David (Justin Bartha, "The Hangover") are a Beverly Hills couple and they have it all. Well, almost. With successful careers and a committed and loving partnership, the one thing missing is a baby. And just when they think the stars will never align, enter Goldie (Georgia King, "One Day"), an extraordinary young woman with a checkered past. A Midwestern waitress and single mother looking to escape her dead-end life and small-minded grandmother (Ellen Barkin, "Ocean's Thirteen"), Goldie decides to change everything and move to L.A. with her precocious 8-year-old daughter. Desperate and broke - but also fertile - Goldie quickly becomes the guys' surrogate and quite possibly the girl of their dreams. Surrogate mother, surrogate family.

Yeah it's definitely playing to a 'type'. . .I really would have preferred something a bit more. . .sedate? But whatever, it's decent enough and very watchable. Besides, it was only the pilot. It is exceedingly rare the show that really catches me without the whole first season to invest in. But I'll follow this one and see if I can get into something over time for once.
Nice, I liked the pilot more than I thought I would. Looking forward to the second episode!
Great Pilot. Hope that the rest of the season go as good as it was.
The daughter is made of awesome.
Charming comedy with the usual helping of a bit too much 'everyone is nice except the 1 bigot whom we all laugh at'. Still, I like.
