ABC has found some great success with their family comedy series. Several have been cancelled along the way but the network has managed to successfully fill numerous timeslots with sitcoms. How will the American Housewife TV show perform? Will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
American Housewife revolves around an average wife and mom, Katie (Katy Mixon), who does her best to stand out from the “perfect” housewives and their privileged children of Westport. Katie’s husband (Diedrich Bader) is a logical guy and supports her in every way he can, including working to ensure that their children (Meg Donnelly, Daniel DiMaggio, and Julia Butters) do not end up like everyone else in their neighborhood. Katie’s friends are played by Carly Hughes and Ali Wong.
