Raising Hope

Raising HopeNetwork: FOX
Episodes: 88 (half-hour)
Seasons: Four

TV show dates: September 21, 2010 — April 4, 2014
Series status: Cancelled

Performers include: Garrett Dillahunt, Lucas Neff, Martha Plimpton, Shannon Marie Woodward, Skyler Stone, Bijou Phillips, and Cloris Leachman.

TV show description:      
This sitcom centers around a 23-year-old guy who finds himself taking care of his infant daughter — the product of a one-night stand — after the mother of the child is sent to jail. The series is from Emmy Award winner Greg Garcia who also created My Name Is Earl.

As a 23-year-old pool cleaner, Jimmy Chance (Lucas Neff) is trying to find his purpose in life without much success. He still lives at home and goes out every night to help fill the void.

His parents, Virginia and Burt (Martha Plimpton and Garret Dillahunt) are happy that he’s old enough to take care of himself. He was conceived when they were 15. They missed out on a lot and want to make up for lost time but are financially strapped.

Jimmy’s grandmother, Maw Maw (Cloris Leachman), is going senile and is often unpredictable. She often forgets to put her top on and tries to kiss her grandson, thinking he’s her dead husband. Also living with them is cousin Mike (Skylar Stone). He’s immature and loves to party even more than Jimmy.

One night, Jimmy has a one-night stand with a beautiful girl named Lucy (Bijou Phillips). She neglects to tell him that she’s a wanted felon and serial killer. A few months later, he visits her in prison and learns that she got pregnant from the night they spent together.

After their baby girl is born, Lucy wants him to raise her. His family isn’t too happy to hear this but Jimmy refuses to shirk this responsibility. They all adjust as best they can and it’s Virginia who suggests the baby be named Hope.

While trying to buy things for the baby, Jimmy falls for a checker named Sabrina (Shannon Woodward) at the grocery store but can’t get up to the nerve to ask her out on a date.

Series Finale:     
Episode #88 — The Father Daughter Dance
Virginia’s estranged father, Arnold (Jeffrey Tambor), returns to enlist her help in planning his gay wedding. In return, he promises to pay for Hope’s college education. She reluctantly agrees and ends up enjoying the process because long ago she fantasized about planning her own dream wedding. Maw Maw uncovers that Arnold hasn’t been telling the truth and he reveals that the extravagant wedding is actually for Virginia and Burt. It’s his way of making amends and he has even hired Kenny Loggins to sing her special song. Unfortunately, Arnold has spent all of his money on the wedding and now needs a place to live. Jimmy offers him his old room and Arnold promises to figure out a way to make enough money to pay for Hope’s college after all.
First aired: April 4, 2014.

I enjoyed immensely the antics of each and every one of the characters. I have 11 of them recorded and watch at least 2 a week. Strange, I never get tired of any of the shows. They are always funny. I kinda fell in love with Sabrina. And Maw. Too late to bring it back as the actors have moved on. Our loss.

I adore this show. I wake up early to watch it. Feel happiness if it is on again the next 1/2 hour, then hope I have lucked out and happened to catch a marathon**i watch every episode, even if I have seen it several times, because there are always things that I missed and were equally funny . Definitely makes me happy not depressed like most shows……it is like a baby. Everybody loves a baby….don’t get rid of it….please***

I also just found this show in the reruns and it is very good! The writing is quick and funny. They take shows like that off and leave on crap like I don’t even know anymore because I only watch what I record or movies or geeky stuff LOL
