While FOX has had success with animated comedies for many years, the network has struggled lately to find new live-action sitcoms that do well in the ratings. Will Outmatched succeed where others have failed? Will it be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A multi-camera family comedy, the Outmatched TV show stars Jason Biggs, Maggie Lawson, Connor Kalopsis, Ashley Boettcher, Jack Stanton, Oakley Bull, Tisha Campbell, and Finesse Mitchell. The series revolves around a blue-collar couple as they try to raise their four kids in Atlantic City. Parents Kay (Lawson) and Mike (Biggs) barely made it through high school and now, they find themselves parenting four kids, three of whom are certified geniuses. Eldest son Brian (Kalopsis) is a condescending and pretentious 16-year-old math whiz. Nicole (Boettcher), is a 15-year-old deceptive and fiercely competitive language prodigy. Meanwhile, 10-year-old Marc (Stanton) is a music savant. The only child who doesn’t drive her parents crazy is eight-year-old Leila (Bull). Mike and Kay’s childhood friends are Rita (Campbell) and Irwin (Mitchell) and they provide a sounding board for the couple’s daily parenting struggles.

*5/20/20 update: Outmatched has been cancelled by FOX.
not a really good show could have been good if they had different writers
If they didn’t have a laugh track for nearly every line spoken it might have a chance. But they used it for lines that weren’t even jokes.
Shoot the horse now.
Adorable, really hope it gets renewed!
Outmatched shoukd be renewed, however I am surprised that Finesse Mitchell and Tisha Campbell were not the main characters. That would make a huge difference.
LOVE this show sooo much. Can’t wait for season 2
Interesting premise – I watched 2 episodes so far. Tonight’s had some good. The mom teaching the 15 yr old that losers she dated turned out to still be dirt bags when they are old. I think that was a great teaching moment. Date someone of your same caliber. I had to tell my friend to tell her daughter that. Daughter is highly educated and got into a great college but wasted her HS days with someone below her eye Q that ended up breaking her heart. Bad boys are always going to be bad boys unless they have a… Read more »

Terrible show would not waste my time
Excellent premise, torpedoed by lame writing and chew-the-scenery acting.
