I am so thankful for tonight’s episode of Raising Hope on Fox at 9:30p because I can’t even begin to tell you fabulously funny it is!
Tonight when Burt gets a call from his judgmental parents, The Six Million Dollar Man Lee Majors and The Partridge Family mom Shirley Jones, that they are coming over for Thanksgiving, Virginia and him need come up with a plan ASAP to make them think they are rich and successful. Since one of the houses that Virginia (Martha Plimpton) cleans is going to be vacant for the holiday, she decides moves Maw Maw, Jimmy, Hope and Sabrina in to their nice big house. Yes Sabrina too because she will be playing Jimmy’s wife and Hope’s mom, so that Burt’s parents don’t really know about Hope’s mom and how and why she died. They will have a lot of fun making up stories about how their life is better than it is. But the one who will be having the most fun is Maw Maw (Cloris Leachman) who will be assigned to sleep in the teenage daughter’s room. Imagine what she will do with a vibrating phone, thong underwear and a Instant Messenger? It won’t be pretty, but it will be pretty hysterical!
How long do you think it will be before things go horribly wrong for The Chances? Tune into to find out in an episode that will make you so freaking thankful this show is on the air!
BTW can I tell you even though my friends have been tell me how hilarious this show is, I never watched it until this episode about two weeks ago. I loved it so much, I am now so addicted to the show that I can’t wait to catch up on all I missed and watch all the new episodes to see just what’s next for The Chances as they try Raising Hope! So find out just how awesome this show is that it made me an addict after just one episode tonight!
Cloris Leachman came out to the Fox TCA Summer Press Tour Day to promote her new sitcom hysterical Raising Hope. The 84 year old award winning actress had us all in stitches as she answered reporters’ questions in a way only she could. Well the loudest laughs came a few questions in when someone asked her if she felt there was a competition between her and her Mary Tyler Moore co-star Betty White. Well the Dancing with the Stars alum said, “I’m so sick of Betty White…Never liked her.” Of course she was joking when she was talking about the everyone’s favorite 88 year old, but Phylis still had us all LOLing just like Raising Hope!!!
Raising Hope is about a young man who suddenly finds himself a father when the mother of his baby is executed and he has no idea what to do. The show also stars Martha Plimpton and premieres on September 21st.
