Tonight on Lifetime starting at 7p Sheri Shepherd gets her own sitcom and Rita Rocks is back for its second season.
As much as I wanted to hate Sherri because I can’t stand Sherri Shepherd, I actually liked it. The sitcom is about a recent divorcee who finds out that her ex-husband’s much younger mistress is 6 months pregnant as she is dealing with single life again after 10 years of marriage. The paralegal/wanna-be-actress/comedienne tries the dating and learns the hard way being a Cougar can be illegal! But don’t worry she won’t be doing alone she has her friends to back her up! The show has that sitcom feel and you know me, I believe in saving as many of them of them as a I can because they are slowly becoming extinct. That and the show actually made me a laugh a few times.
From Sherri to Rita Rocks, Nicole Sullivan and Tisha Campbell-Martin are back for a second season and both of their waistlines are rapidly expanding. That is because both actresses were pregnant in real life while filming the first half of this season. Nicole’s pregnancy was written into the show while Tisha’s wasn’t. On tonight’s season premiere Nicole hid her baby bump behind a guitar, a big purse and anything else she could find until her character finds out she is preggers, while Tisha is getting fat because she can’t stop eating. You have to admit that is an original way to handle the pregnancies! Another change coming up this season is Ian Gomez is out because he got another show and Tisha’s real-life husband will join the show as their newest band member and the man she has a crush on! What hasn’t changed just how funny this show!
So check out both shows for a laugh tonight starting at 7p and again tomorrow at 10p which is their normally scheduled time on Lifetime!
