The show is about a childless woman who starts dating a man with three kids. It has shades of step life in it. Honestly the whole imaginary friend angle is hokey but I think the writers should come here for some good episode ideas..lol.

Did you get the undercurrent where the dad (disney) has apparently already let his new girlfriend basically take on a "mother" role for his kids when they haven't even gotten married yet???

I watched one episode - think it my have been the first one - and couldn't get into it. Too cheesy.

I wish Netflix would come up with a realistic step series. They could get so many different interesting and funny situations from this site! Biggrin

I definitely agree... a more realistic view on this topic would be welcome. There are certainly situations that are humorous right? It seems that we only see two types of step families.

1. Brady Bunch
2. Evil Stepmother

It's just not that simple and boring!

I think the whole "imaginary mary" part of this is wholly unnecessary! It is too cheesy and takes away from what might have been a good show.

I tried to watch Imaginary Mary, but it completely turned me off. I didn't see the BM kowtowing, but I did see the lead character being forced to apologize to kids when they wrecked her house and belongings during their first visit. And the Disney dad laying the guilt on thick about EVERYTHING kid-related.

No thank you, if I want to see that level of poopstorm, I'll just leave DH to his own devices... LOL

Try Jane the Virgin if you want some really odd step family dynamics....

To be honest I'm up to date on the show, because it's SOOO over the top that it's cheesily entertaining

Base premise of the show is, young virgin woman gets knocked up by the gyn giving her a pap test because the gyn confused her and the patient wanting the artificial insemination, as she was too upset, having recently broken up with her girlfriend. Kicker... the gyn is the babydaddy's sister... the other patient is the baby daddy's wife...and the girlfriend is the gyn & baby daddy's dad's wife....

eesh...

Honestly, it's so bad it's great.
