Trivia

Original plans for the show in the early '00s were to feature 'Paul Rudd' as Henry, Steve Carell as Ron and Jane Lynch but negotiations with networks were unsuccessful at the time. After "Veronica Mars" was canceled, Rob Thomas decided to bring the project back and shoot an unaired pilot at his home with a revised cast. This cast was kept when the show actually went into production, with the exception of Andrea Savage, who played Casey Klein in the unaired pilot, while Lizzy Caplan was cast when the show went into actual production. Savage actually guested on the show's second season, playing a former comedian who befriends Casey and gives her some advice for her career.

Loved it!

I thought this show was GREAT! The reason I found it in the first place was because Veronica Mars ended and so I wanted more of Rob Thomas. Well, turns out there is quite the slew of people working on this show, and the product is wonderful (to me, of course). I am a huge Veronica Mars fan, and so it was neat to see various cast members guest star on all the different episodes. I thought it was humorous and well-written. The pilot episode doesn't quite grab you, but once I got in to a couple episodes, I quickly appreciated the first ones.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a light, funny show. I can't wait for season two (if there is one). It definitely leaves you wanting more.
