Yes, this P/T writer's opinion, but writers can you not sqeeze humor into where little is? I'm not condemning this series. Trying to recommend its writing/directing to hold however many are NOT compelled to give time lameness. No, not the actors. They passed auditions then is up to production to attract viewing. Come one ABC, we know you can do it. How? Samantha Who follows this.

What Parents Need to Know
About In the Motherhood
Parents need to know that sex is a hot topic for the women at the center of this sitcom, so references to frequency of sex, likes and dislikes in bed, and partners' sexual prowess are all fair game -- as is foreplay like kissing and fondling. Expect some drinking and a dash of salty language tossed into the mix. Although none of that will be new to teens familiar with primetime television,. the show's humor is definitely geared toward parents -- particularly moms -- so teens won't appreciate much of the content that's rooted in been-there, done-that experience.
