[dropcap]”O[\/dropcap]h, I haven\u2019t watched that, is it any good?\u201d Who among us hasn\u2019t been asked this question by one of our fellow TV-watching friends? Well, I remember I was asked this same question about two years ago when I watched, and immediately fell in love with, a show on NBC called Best Friends Forever<\/em>. “Is it any good?” I scoffed. It was so funny! BFF<\/em> was a great friend-based comedy that was brought in as a mid-season replacement and had its six scant episodes quickly burned off the schedule with no plans for renewal. Best Friends for NEVER. So sad.<\/p>\n

\"ScreenBut the gods of comedy have smiled favorably upon us, allowing the comedy team of Parham and St. Clair to reunite on a new network with a new sitcom!<\/p>\n

Playing House<\/em>, starring Lennon Parham<\/strong> and Jessica St. Clair<\/strong> (the Marshalls<\/a> spokes lady), is USA Network\u2019s second original half-hour comedy. The premise is simple: It’s about two best friends and a baby on the way.<\/p>\n

Its costars include Key from Comedy Central\u2019s Key and Peele<\/em>, Malcolm\u2019s mom from Malcolm in the Middle<\/em>, and \u201cGabe\u201d from The Office<\/em>; guest stars have included SNL<\/em>\u2019s Bobby Moynihan, \u201cLutz\u201d from 30 Rock<\/em>\u2026shall I go on? Well, I won’t!<\/p>\n

Look, talking about comedy is never funny, so I\u2019m not going to go into the specifics of any plotlines or jokes. Instead, I will simply implore that you check this show out this summer! Do it in reruns (which is the case, as the season finale already aired). Watch it on USA, or on the USA Network<\/a> website. You can even watch it on Hulu<\/a>.<\/p>\n
