TBS Orders New Sitcom “Your Family or Mine,” Starring Kyle Howard, Kat Foster, Richard Dreyfuss and JoBeth Williams
New Series from the Producers of Friends, Will & Grace, How I Met Your Mother and Happy Endings Puts Unique Twist on Domestic Comedies
Your Family or MineTBS has given the greenlight to Your Family or Mine, a new domestic comedy with a twist starring Kyle Howard (Royal Pains, My Boys), Kat Foster (‘Til Death, Royal Pains), Richard Dreyfuss (The Goodbye Girl, The American President) and JoBeth Williams (Poltergeist, Dexter). Based on an enormously popular Israeli comedy from Keshet International, the series is being executive produced by Greg Malins (Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Will & Grace); Jamie Tarses (Happy Endings, Franklin & Bash); Keshet’s Rubi Duanias, Yaniv Polishuk, Avi Nir and Ran Telem; and Teddy Productions’ Tamira Yardeni. Your Family or Mine comes to TBS by Sony Pictures Television, Jamie Tarses’ Fanfare Productions, Keshet International and Teddy Productions.
TBS has ordered 10 episodes of Your Family or Mine, which is slated to premiere in 2015. Originally created by Rubi Duanias and Yaniv Polishuk, the comedy centers on Oliver (Howard) and Kelli (Foster), a young couple with two daughters. Oliver and Kelli are living proof of the adage, “When you marry someone, you don’t just marry them, you marry their whole family.” Putting a unique spin on domestic comedies, each episode of Your Family or Mine will focus on a different side of the family, one week with Kelli’s family, the next with Oliver’s.
Oliver’s parents, Louis (Dreyfuss) and Ricky (Williams) Mansfield, never make visits comfortable for Kelli, who grudgingly endures inappropriate remarks from gruff retiree Louis and thinly veiled insults from Ricky. Time spent at the Mansfield household also includes frequent encounters with Oliver’s brothers, the cocky Jason (Danny Comden – Dirt, I’m With Her) and the dreamy Blake (Andrew Lees – Dance Academy, Home and Away).
“Your Family or Mine breathes new life into the domestic family comedy format with its innovative ‘one week with her family, the next with his’ format,” said Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM). “This series brings together an ideal ensemble of young talents and award-winning veterans, along with a remarkable production team led by hit-maker Greg Malins, our frequent collaborator Jamie Tarses and our new friends at Keshet International.”

What do you think? Do you plan to check out Your Family or Mine on TBS?
Despite the previous comments I likes the show. As with all new shows it had some rough edges but was getting better. One of the few shows I recorded so i wouldnt miss.
Can’t stand Ed Begley Jr using the gd word. I refuse to watch this show because of that. It brings nothing to the plot, plate or reason to this program. I enjoyed it the few times I watched it when he wasn’t on it.
reminds me of the old ABC sitcom from 77-1981 SOAP seeing two families putting each other down other members of the family
This show sucks. Nothing worse than an unfunny show with a laugh track. Goodbye – Goodbye.
What’s with the language on this show? My kids were in the room and heard Ed Begley Jr. cussing like a sailor. Especially saying GD over and over. Ridiculous. I’m not giving this show another chance. Not funny anyway.
I won’t watch this show again because of the foul language it has. I lost count at how many times “God D…” was used in one episode. What a dumb show and a HUGE turn off!! Shows can be funny without the bad words. Friends didn’t have to stoop so low and it was a great show! 🙁
This is probably the stupidest show I’ve ever watched. It has a laughing track and the actors have no talent.
Even from the previews I could see that this was going to be nothing new drivel. I will not be wasting my time on this noncreative pablum.
Horrible! Absolutely horrible! Two “******’s”, one “oh ****” and one middle finger! 8pm on a Saturday night is not late enough for that kind of language. Kids are still up! Shame on TBS!
Hilarious
