Cheryl and Debra?! Oh please Lord, don’t let this be a trainwreck.
Do they share an apartment too?
This cast rocks! I hope it’s awesome!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hope this doesn’t mean Cheryl Hines wouldn’t be able to do more Curb…
interesting, it seems that the roles would be better reversed, Hines in the right-wing role and Messing as the liberal.
Does anybody else really hate puns?
YES. I also hate when show titles dictate the main character’s name for other reasons, like how “HawthoRNe” has the capital RN because she’s a nurse, so they had to name her something with an RN in it. Get your obnoxious elbow out of my ribs, TV people. You’re not being clever or funny.
I think this has potential to be really good. Especially given the cast

Does this mean no eigth season of Curb?
Cheryl is probabyly looking for something more full time. Curb goes on hiatus sometimes for 2 to 3 years which is ridiculous but understandable since its on HBO. I love Curb but I don’t know how many more seasons it can have before it loses it creativity
Sounds like a winner.
If she really wants this show to be funny, Stephnie Weir should star in it. She is one of the funniest people ever.
You said it!
They really need to change the title of this show. I hate pun titles. I love the cast, but the title is turning me off big time.
Sounds like fun. I’ll check it out.
Carrie Fisher? I’m sold!
I agree!!!!!!!!!! Carrie Fosher ROCKS my SoCKS!!!
I was sold until I read Debra Messing. I’ve got nothing against her but I just can’t see her in this part. Especially going up against Carrie Fisher and Cheryl Hines. They’ll overshadow her for sure.
LOVE Cheryl Hines hope the show gets picked up female comedies have been doing really well lately with Parks & Recreation,30 Rock & Cougar Town.If only NBC would wise up and give Kristen Wiig her own show!
