Although I like everyone in the cast of "Up All Night," (NBC, 10 tonight) I was kind of 'meh' on the concept. I'm too exhausted from raising my kid to get excited about a show about exhaustion from raising a kid. But I think I love this show.
We meet wild and carefree couple Christina Applegate and Will Arnett just as they find out she's pregnant. Fast-forward, and she's back to work as a TV producer; he becomes a stay-at-home dad. Maya Rudolph, plays Ava, the host of the TV show Applegate works on. If Oprah wasn't her highest self, maybe was proud of her druggie past, she'd be Ava.
Everybody is great as the show explores what you gain and what you give up with life's choices; it can be a painful, depressing, revelatory and funny experience.
Yep, I love this show.
