I really love the show because it presents the life of Sammy (a single working mom raising three kids) in a very realistic manner.
I am not parent (let alone a single parent), but after watching the show I feel very connected to them and there is nothing more refreshing than "saying it like it is" on a comedy series.
Do you know/imagine how complex it is (rewarding, funny and hard) to raise 3 girls as a single parent in Hollywood? :)
Well this show hits the nail on the head.
Sammy's sense of humour helps her deal with work situations, raising the girls with love, getting to meet guys
No b*****it kind of show
