Fox's latest venture into the dysfunctional family sitcom is Raising Hope. It features young adult man, Jimmy Chance (Lucas Neff). The shiftless Jimmy works as a pool boy and commensurate with the stereotype, has a one-night stand with Lucy (Bijou Phillips). He finds out later she is a wanted felon and has had their baby while in jail. Jimmy is given custody of the baby and takes her home to his "˜family'. If grandmother, "Maw Maw" (Cloris Leachman) is an off-the-rocker type who lives with Jimmy, his mother Virginia (Martha Plimpton), father Burt (Garret Dillahunt), and his coz Mike (Skyler Stone). With a family that knows nothing about good parenting or how to take care of a baby the comic zaniness of caring for the baby, Hope, begins. As the family struggles thorough the difficulties of "Raising Hope", they learn about themselves and each other, with plenty of laughs thrown into the mix.

One of the funniest talk shows released in 2012, Comedy Bang! Bang! owes its success a long history of weekly comedy audio podcast, which began in 2009 and was originated from Comedy Death-Ray stage talk show performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Hollywood. The person which is standing behind this success is an American writer and comedian Scott Aukerman, who started in 1990s in HBO's sketch comedy Mr. Show with Bob and David. Apperently, te seeds of great headway were laid in the fertile ground in these fabulous times and now we have one of the must-watched comedy shows on IFC which gone far away in success from its pursuer Bunk, which seems to be much less entertaining though has lots similar of similarities with Comedy Bang! Bang! Nevertheless Scott Aukerman continues to amuse the audience with uncommon tricks like strange persons falling out from the blue and talking to host and his guest before going nowhere. Aukerman's guests deserves some special attention: at the first look they are common Hollywood celebrities, like Amy Poehler or Zach Galifianakis but something in the way the host introduces them and is talking to them makes whole performance incredibly ludicrous. That's maybe a secret of a true master comedian.

Lifetime television has found themselves a hit show with Drop Dead Diva. Brooke Elliott (Broadway musicals Wicked, The Pirate Queen) is Debbie Dobkins a shallow gal who was deemed to be a "zero" when she died in a car accident and then entered Heaven. Apparently she had done nothing worthwhile, either good or bad while on Earth. Hating her useless life she wants to return and do something of value. Pressing the key on a computer keyboard she is transported back to life but with what some may consider handicaps. She is now overweight Jane Bingum, a brilliant and hard working lawyer. Aghast with her appearance initially, Debbie learns to appreciate inner beauty and, through her inherited body, goes after the retribution she needs. Interesting twist on a semi-reality show where we find the heroine is scorned because of her appearance but learns more about how to treat people than she ever could in her previous life. Might be nice if we could each have a second chance in life. Margaret Cho (The Cho Show, Ghost Whisperer) is Teri Lee, Debbie's assistant and friend.
