a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I'm so sad this show is cancelled, I usually agree for the most part with ABC cancelled series, but there have been a few that have made me sad and this is definitely be at the top of the list. Trophy Wife was a funny breath of fresh air. Loved the plot and characters, really sad to see this one go. The actors really played their parts and were believable. From the parents to the kids, the cast really blended well together. I actually liked it better than the Goldbergs. It now joins 'That 'B' in Apartment 23 and Betrayal, two of my other favorites that have gotten the axe. I mean geez ABC give these shows a chance to do well before being so quick to cancel. You will be terribly missed.

Kate (Malin Akerman) is a former party girl who has married Pete Harrison (Bradley Whitford). He has two kids (Bailee Madison, Ryan Lee) with his hard nosed surgeon first wife Diane (Marcia Gay Harden). He has an adopted son Bert (Albert Tsai) with flaky second wife Jackie (Michaela Watkins). And Kate's party friend Meg (Natalie Morales) keeps dropping by.It's a really busy modern family that has misadventures together. She grows to be a better person and they grow to be a closer family. Blah. Blah. Blah. Malin Akerman is a hot woman with some comedic skills. She's better than most and is able to maintain likability throughout. Everybody is doing a good job, and it's a functional family sitcom. I wouldn't call it anything outstanding. It got canceled after its first year run of 22 episodes.

We look forward to the show all week and the reviewer who panned it is nuts! Every bit as funny as Modern family and the Christmas show this week was one of the best TV episodes in a long time!The current wife is a cutie and the two exes are truly polar opposites! Second wife was lucky to get one of the best parts on TV. Marcia is perfect as tight as* first wife.Best friend is also funny but the trip from The West Wing to trophy Wife was a pleasant surprise for us!I hope this show doesn't go the way of Better Off Ted another great show that bit the big one.I think you need to run the episode a couple of times a week for folks to find the show.

Trophy Wife is one of the pleasant surprises of the 2013 fall season. In the first few episodes Malin Akerman in the main role is not all that sympathetic or, to be honest, even all that funny, but after several weeks she really grows on you. On the other hand, her two rivals, Marcia Gay Harden and Michaela Watkins as Bradley Whitford's previous wives Diane and Jackie, are immediately very funny. How many shows have been based on the model of husband as doofus and wife as long-suffering problem-solver? This show is nothing like that: it's written by women and at its core deals with the rivalry among three women, each of whom is less than perfect, and it is often hilarious. At this point in December of its first season, the breakout characters appear to be gormless New Age Jackie, her Asian adopted son Bert(Albert Tsai), and Diane's goofy teenage son Warren (Ryan Lee). My recent taste in sitcoms is in the vein of Parks & Rec (my current favourite), Louie, Community, 30 Rock, so I'm not usually a family sitcom type but this one works for me.
