Re: Hilary Swank's new show premieres THURSDAY on ABC at 10

I wonder if those proposing her character would say the same thing if the lead was a male with the same type of personality?

Possibly fertility drugs were used. This news may put a crimp in the new show

Re: her pregnancy, she's healthy and always keeps herself strong and fit. 

Bet she's in better shape than many women half her age.

Well, I finally watched it ... and thought it was one of the better pilots I've ever seen.   Many first episodes can be confusing and hard to follow.

 

I wasn't confused even once about the characters or storyline.  This show has good writers.

 

I was also please to see Jeff Perry (previously Cyrus on Scandal) in the series.  He's a good actor, and paired with Hillary, I think it will work well.

 

 

Just an OT tidbit ...........   

 

Did you know that Jeff Perry was married to "Jackie" ....  Roseanne's sister ....  many moons ago.   

 

They had a daughter, Zoe,  who is also an actress .... she is Sheldon's mother on Young Sheldon.  Not hard to see the resemblance.

I particularly liked that they started with her character's back story rather than the usual formulaic flashbacks over time.  It helps explain the harshness of her character which no doubt will soften as she discovers herself.

Watched the first episode and will not continue.  I don't like where the story is headed even though the acting was good.

I think the show is well done, and Hilary is the perfect choice for the lead character.  I also think we'll be seeing "quirky" characters throughout. 

 

Every time they show a long shot of the scenery ... pine forests etc ... I just want to take a deep breath of that beautiful oxygen-rich air!

 

I also like the poet who's a pilot.

Just caught up with the first 2 episodes.

 

Swank aside, it is an extremely important topic and one that consistently is swept under the rug.
