In the Motherhood (8pm ABC) This new sitcom is based on a popular web series and stars Megan Mullally (Will & Grace), Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm), and Jessica St. Clair (Worst Week). It's described as "more mainstream" than some of ABC's quirkier comedies, like "Better Off Ted," and has gotten pretty good reviews. And here's something refreshing to look forward to: Hines's character is divorced, St. Clair's husband is black and their two children are mixed race, and Mullally's character actually admits that she's 50 years old. So at least ABC is open to making the show reflect more of the real world.

It sure didn't look good for him in the previews. Also, Sam (Jason O'Mara, left) becomes the prime suspect in a murder. Only one more episode after this one.
