Tony award winner Julie White played Helen, Tom Smallwood's mother. The sitcom is mediocre at the moment. The premise is strange about aspiring professional bowler based on a true story. The sitcom is set in Saginaw, Michigan. The rest of the cast is fine. Another Tony winner Rondi Reed also appeared in three episodes as salon owner, Ruth. If the sitcom doesn't make it, they should build a sitcom around Julie White. The show is still new and there are things to work out, give it a chance.
