Have you caught Jon Cryer's new sitcom, Extended Family? If not, you're missing out on a rollercoaster of emotions and hilarious moments! Picture this: Jon Cryer as Jim, a recently divorced dad trying to juggle co-parenting with his ex-wife Julia, played by the lovely Abigail Spencer. But wait, there's a curveball in the form of Donald Faison's character, Trey, who sweeps Julia off her feet with his charm.
The show unfolds with Jim and Julia sharing a house and custody of their kids on a weekly basis, trying to keep things as normal as possible. However, things get complicated when Trey, the suave owner of the Boston Celtics, enters the picture. As the kids warm up to Trey, Jim can't help but feel a little insecure and competitive for their affections.
In the pilot episode, we see the intricate relationships between the characters play out, with heartwarming moments mixed in with the comedy. Drawing inspiration from real-life dynamics, the show mirrors the amicable relationship between Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck and his ex-wife.
The chemistry between the characters, reminiscent of Cryer's iconic role in Two and a Half Men, makes for a captivating watch.
As the story progresses, viewers are left wondering if Extended Family can capture the same magic as its predecessor while paving its own path. With the promise of laughter, love, and unexpected plot twists, this sitcom is a delightful escape from reality. So, tune in to NBC every Tuesday or stream it on Peacock for a dose of family drama and comedy that will keep you hooked!
