“Perfect Couples” joins previously announced “Chase,” “Undercovers,” “The Event,” “Love Bites,” and “Outsourced” as the sixth new scripted series currently unveiled for NBC’s new season with additional pickups yet to be announced.
“Jon and Scott are hugely talented writer-producers and they’ve really delivered with ‘Perfect Couples,’” said Bromstad. Â ”The comedy includes a cast of three distinctive couples who share the same issues and will draw viewers in with their relatable stories.”
“Perfect Couples” depicts the misadventures of three engaging couples as they struggle to find out what makes the ideal relationship — and how to maintain it through humorous trial-and-error. Â The series explores their heroic journey in search of the perfect relationship without destroying each other in the process.
Dave (Kyle Howard, “My Boys”) and Julia (Christine Woods, “Flash Forward”) are the relatable, normal couple, but Julia’s hope of remaining the cool, low-maintenance chick is tested by Dave’s attempts to keep both his wife and his needy best friend Vance (Dave Walton, NBC’s “100 Questions”) equally happy. Â Vance, along with the neurotic Amy (Mary Elizabeth Ellis, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”), are the high-passion, high-drama couple who bring out the best and worst in each other.
The third duo features Rex (Hayes MacArthur, “She’s Out of My League”), a reformed party guy, and, and his wife, Leigh (Olivia Munn, “Attack of the Show”), who considers herself as the group’s mother hen. Â Believing that they are relationship experts, Rex and Leigh have attended every class and seminar on relationships — and regard themselves as the “perfect couple.”
Olivia, can’t tell you how excited and proud I am of you. This year has been great for you. Keep up the good work! Ponies and rainbows!
Congrats,Hope you can maintain a schedule where you can stay on AOTS for a long time(i found the ponie you left me thank you)
Congrats to Olivia on the new show. Can’t wait to see her on primetime tv.
Long
Due
Congrats Olivia!
hope the show lasts more than 2 weeks
Olivia I love you. But I can’t sit through another perpect couples episode. You need to get out of that show as fast as possible. Those writers just don’t have any clue. It’s just that bad…
Olivia, congrads! But honestly NBC can anyone come up with something original? This goes for ABC as well.
Here’s a thought… Get IT Crowd and have Olivia be their boss. Use the original writers and for crying out loud – stop trying to repeat Friends, Cheers or even Hills Street Blues. Move on!
I can see why her agent went after this role, but I think OM would be great in an action series (to take advantage of her geek following), like the upcoming star wars live action show.
