Premieres Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 8:30PM ET/PT

Mixing family with business is never easy, and Jack Shea (Kyle Bornheimer) is about to learn that lesson the hard way. When Jack's father, Tony (J.K. Simmons), has a heart attack and is forced to hand over the keys to his beloved handyman business, Jack is eager to finally step up and make his father proud. Unfortunately Jack's past career efforts have been less than stellar, so everyone seems to be waiting for him to fail. His new job isn't made any easier by Tony's rebellious, troublemaking assistant, Darren (Edi Gathegi), and Darren's flirtatious sister, Stitch (Danielle Nicolet), who works at the local hardware store. But with the support of his Aunt Terry (Leah Remini) and his oddball yet endearing cousin Mason (Johnny Pemberton), Jack Shea may just find his true calling right at home.

I forget where he went, but JK Simmons moved on to another new series, so I think this series is more or less stillborn. ABC will burn it off and who knows, it may get a following. It has happened before.

I inquired about this series a few months back since I am in love with Leah Remini, and was told that the reviews for the show was very poor.

Can't be any worse than The Neighbors.
