Synopsis

TV Series (2010-2011). 1 Season. 22 Episodes. Three very different relationships, one tightly intertwined family. Maddie and Ben have been dating for nine years - a relationship marked by contentment and affection, seeing their commitment to one another as a "valid life choice". Maddie's younger sister, Mia, has been dating Casey for seven weeks - they are beyond smitten with each other and thrilled to explore the oh so many things they don't know about each other yet. But when they announce they are getting married and having a baby, it's news that completely throws Maddie for a loop. Surprisingly, the girls' parents, Vicky and Joel, couldn't be more pleased. Married 35 years, they have recently adopted a carpe diem type of attitude, much like Mia's, mostly due to getting older and losing a good portion of their savings when the economy tanked.

Critics' reviews

"For now, what Better brings you are six well-written, well-played characters who say and do enough funny things to keep you amused"

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"It's nice to see some emotional meat in a live-audience staging again, feeding off the energy and reactions of real people."

Diane Werts: Newsday
"Surprisingly clever dialogue, great characters and an excellent cast will make you enjoy this very typical sitcom in spite of yourself"

Salon
"When it does work, the relatable relationship tics of Better With You should wring a few chuckles from anyone who's ever been in love for any length of time."

Sarah Rodman: Boston Globe
"Some of the wait for it...It's a punchline! moments feel very last-century compared with fresher Cougar Town and 30 Rock, but the likable cast shows promise."

Jessica Shaw: Entertainment Weekly
"It's not a bad sitcom, just a bit ordinary given the company it's keeping."

TV Guide
"The cast and the writing are solid, and I think we can assume there's wisdom ahead. It's definitely a family that could grow on you. But I wouldn't go so far as to marry into it."

Paige Wiser: Chicago Sun-Times
